Additional Information

Potentially an accidental indent here? https://github.com/cyberark/ansible-security-automation-collection/blob/master/plugins/modules/cyberark_authentication.py#L201

The payload_dict from above hasn't changed in 2 years, but it looks like the conditionals around it have changed quite a bit in the last year: https://github.com/cyberark/ansible-security-automation-collection/blame/ccea4d8d31e9514ca54c7b494dbf1177f66d81f3/plugins/modules/cyberark_authentication.py#L201

L201 might be out of place and indented to the wrong level based on the new conditionals in the module.

Ran into the same issue and un-indenting seems to have resolved the issue for me in my testing.
