Hi,  
I have developed a custom ntp module for our orgnisation network device and appended provider options in to the argument spec of the module.  
Need to understand,

1. do i need to perform any extra operations on those provider option attributes during connection with remote device?
2. if we need to process what is exactly that i need to do?
3. if we don’t need to perform any operations on provider, then i am using below  
playbook to run my module which is throwing error as authentication failed please correct the playbook if there is anything wrong:
