Expected Behavior

• If artifactory_replication_config has defined:

  lifecycle {
    ignore_changes = [
      replications.0.password
    ]
  }

• Password should be never updated.

Actual Behavior

• If you don't use decrypted passwords in the artifactory and you specify to ignore password with:

  lifecycle {
    ignore_changes = [
      replications.0.password
    ]
  }

• Then you will modify replication (in this case just enable from disabled state) and apply via terraform:

# artifactory_replication_config.npm-test will be updated in-place
  ~ resource "artifactory_replication_config" "npm-test" {
        cron_exp                 = "0 0 6,23 ? * * *"
        enable_event_replication = false
        id                       = "npm-test"
        repo_key                 = "npm-test"

      ~ replications {
          ~ enabled               = false -> true
            password              = (sensitive value)
            socket_timeout_millis = 15000
            sync_deletes          = true
            sync_properties       = true
            sync_statistics       = true
            url                   = "https://art-instance.com/artifactory/npm-test/"
            username              = "username"
        }
    }

• Replication will be set according to the terraform plan but password will be also set with random hashed value. By this replication will stop to work with Connection failed: Target replication URL returned error 401: Unauthorized

Steps to Reproduce

1. Define artifactory_local_repository + artifactory_replication_config with the ignore_changes for the password.
2. terraform apply
3. Check the replication settings in the artifactory and hit the test button - you will receive 401: Unauthorized

Important Factoids

• This could be related to the https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/issues/21433
• Lifecycle configuration in this repository is invalid for 0.12.X. Needs to be used ignore_changes = [replications.0.password] instead of ignore_changes = ["password"]
