I am an ansible noob looking to manage cisco ACI with it. I have thrown together a simple playbook located at [https://pastebin.com/LcGBEttc](https://pastebin.com/LcGBEttc). When I run the playbook I get Permission denied (publickey,password), however if I copy and paste the exact same username/password combo into either the web login or ssh it works. Any ideas?
