Unable to automate change of default admin password

[ramalhais-sky]

After changing the admin password using terraform, terraform is unable to continue connecting to avi. Is there a work-around?

resource "avi_useraccount" "avi_user" {
provider = "avi.default_password"
username = "${var.avi_username}"
old_password = "${var.avi_default_password}"
password = "${var.avi_new_password}"
}

I have tried using provider alias, but it doesn't work because the alias with the new password is also initialized and login fails.

Would it be possible to make it work this way?

• provider:

  • set default_password
  • set password
    if login with "password" fails, login with "default_password"

• resource avi_useraccount:

  • remove the need for the old password

Also it would be nice if the provider only tried to login and update resources if there is a resource that uses it.
Right now it seems like the provider is always called to update all the resources, even if the resources have count=0 (should not count as using the provider and needing to update the resource if the resource was already count=0 in the terraform state or inexistent).
