Hi Lury,

Thanks for the reply. I am not trying to use Ironic to change the BMC
password. I am changing the password directly on the system, independently
of Ironic. Then after that I change the password in Ironic. But it doesn't
seem to update in Ironic and any operations on the node fail with a redfish
authentication error. After restarting the conductor, node operations work
again.
