The terraform resource does not do any validation on the entity name. It just populates it in the specification and calls the VCF API to rotate the credentials.

@cmsriram did you observe an error in the SDDC manager? Or was it just a problem with "terraform apply"?

If the former was true it would be useful to share the logs from the SDDC manager. I will close the issue for now since it does not seem to be caused by the provider.

@stoyanzhelyazkov I observed the issue in the SDDC manager with the task failing. That is how thought of tracking this issue here. Will repro and provide the logs.
