Hi,

Following construct does not changes the password on the existing user:

- name: Creation of users...  
&nbsp;&nbsp;keystone\_user: user={{ item.user }} tenant=admin password={{ item.pass }} email={{ item.mail }} login\_user={{ adminuser }} login\_password={{ adminpass }} endpoint={{ endpoint }} login\_tenant\_name={{ tenant }}  
&nbsp;&nbsp;with\_items:  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;........  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- { user: 'admin', pass: 'newpass', mail: 'admin@domain.com' }  
&nbsp;&nbsp;tags:  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- create\_user

All variables were mentioned in role variable file, and I can create new users with it. But using it against existing users with new password do nothing ☹

Is that intended behaviour of this module - or I`m missing something?

Hi Nick, that does sound like a potential bug. Could you open an issue on github so we can keep track of this? Thanks!
