troubles with rabbitmq_user

Whenever I set a user password with rabbitmq_user I cannot then log in. Using ANSIBLE_KEEP_REMOTE_FILES is see that the correct password is being sent.

If I then reset the password using rabbitmqctl to the exact same value that rabbitmq_user used I can then log in.

Is anybody else experiencing this?

ansible version: 1.9.2 (v1.9.2-0.1.rc1 982bad7886)

RTFM: This was an existing user, hence:

password:
description:

  • Password of user to add.
  • To change the password of an existing user, you must also specify
    C(force=yes).
    required: false
    default: null

But it’s still unclear why the password is getting changed/corrupted without the force flag…
