I’m working with Ansible 2.4.2.0 with Win7 as host and CentOs 6 as remote.

I’m trying to use mongodb\_user module to create mongo users.  
But without changing anything to the configuration, the task still reports as changed the next time.

`

- name: Create user  
mongodb\_user:  
database: “test”  
login\_host: “pocAnsible”  
login\_port: “27017”  
login\_user: “root”  
login\_password: “toto”  
user: “new\_user”  
password: “password”  
roles:
- db: “test”  
role: “read”  
`

I’m in update\_password: always policy which is supposed to be updated only when necessary according to the documentation  
[http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/mongodb\_user\_module.html](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/mongodb_user_module.html)

Is it supposed to work as I expect or is there a bug in the module?

Thanks for your help on that.
