Module: cp_gaia_password_policy.py does not allow to input "never" as str for password_expiration_days
Hi Guys
Nice work with this Collection
Is it possible to add option to add string "never" for: password_expiration_days and password_expiration_maximum_days_before_lock to allow to revert to default config?
Like this:
password-expiration-days # Password expiration lifetime, default value is 'never'
integer: Valid values are 60-604800
or
string: Optional arguments: never
The same goes for password_expiration_maximum_days_before_lock
Hey asgeb,

For things like this, you'd likely have to open a TAC case and request a fix. Several Gaia API Ansible modules have problems with inconsistent values between the Ansible modules and Gaia API server, just like what you noted. The issue is that the modules are defined to accept only integers instead of text strings. They'd have to parse every optional parameter value like this one to detect the optional string. It's doable, but it'd be tedious to go back and fix all of them. I agree with you; they should do this. The API accepts the optional string so the Ansible module should be consistent with the API.
