cohesity_oracle_source should not require database credentials due to OS authentication is an option

[amhaats1]

📚 Documentation

The documentation states a db username and password have to be specified but in the GUI if you want OS Authentication it doesn't require credentials

Module: cohesity_oracle_source

db_password: description:

• "Specifies the password to access the target source database."
• "This parameter will not be logged."
• "Required when I(state=present)" type: str db_username: description:
• "Specifies username to access the target source database."
• "Required when I(state=present)" type: str

Please update documentation and notes in the module that db_password and db_username is not required. I left these out and was still able to get the oracle source to register with OS Authentication which is what I was looking to do.

You updated only applicable when state is present but it shouldn't be required if the user is wanting to set the source as OS authentication instead of DB authentication.
Example: which works to set the source as OS authentication

• name: "Cohesity Protection Source: Register Oracle Source" cohesity_oracle_source: cluster: "omaccohcls00" username: "ansible" password: "cohesity123" validate_certs: "false" state: present endpoint: "{{ item }}" force_register: true
