cyberark_account - unable to append new remote_machine IP address

[iamgini]

Summary

Provide a brief overview and context for the discovered bug. When we try to update the `Remmote Machines" of an existing account, the task failed with the following message.

  "msg": "Error while performing update_account.Please validate parameters provided.\n*** end_point=********/PasswordVault/api/Accounts/70_8\n ==> {'ErrorCode': 'PASWS125E', 'ErrorMessage': \"Property 'remotemachinesaccess' cannot be added\"}",

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create an account in CyberArk (if doesn't exist). (This is also working with the Ansible playbook to create the new Account)
2. Add some remote machine IP address in the "Remote Machines" section (eg: 1.1.1.1, 2.2.2.2, 3.3.3.3).
3. Use the playbook to append the new IP address to the list (eg: 4.4.4.4.

- name: Logon to CyberArk Vault using PAS Web Services SDK
  delegate_to: localhost
  cyberark.pas.cyberark_authentication:
    api_base_url: "{{ lookup('ansible.builtin.env', 'CYBERARK_VAULT_URL') }}"
    validate_certs: false
    username: "{{ lookup('ansible.builtin.env', 'CYBERARK_AUTH_USERNAME') }}"
    password: "{{ lookup('ansible.builtin.env', 'CYBERARK_AUTH_PASSWORD') }}"
    use_ldap_authentication: true
  no_log: true

- name: Updating the account with new remote_machines

        address: "{{ cyberark_entry_address }}"
        username: "{{ cyberark_account_username }}"
        platform_id: "{{ cyberark_platform_id }}"
        remote_machines_access:
          remote_machines: "4.4.4.4"          
        state: present
        cyberark_session: "{{ cyberark_session }}"
      register: cyberark_action

Expected Results

A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen. The new IP address (eg: 4.4.4.4) should be appended to the remote machines list. (eg: 1.1.1.1, 2.2.2.2, 3.3.3.3, 4.4.4.4).

@infamousjoeg Are you able to look at this and see who might be able to triage it?

[iamgini]

Dear Team, did you get a chance to test this?

[infamousjoeg]

@szh This would need to be handled by @cyberark-bizdev. I am 2 days away from parental leave and am closing out open issues elsewhere.
