Connection Refused error when running Ansible Playbook
I'm trying to run an Ansible playbook to create a new local user account on a Big-IP VE running 13.1.3.4 using the bigip_user module. I'm able to run tasks using bigip_device_info and bigip_config modules successfully, but whenever I try to run a playbook with a module to change settings (i.e. bigip_user or bigip_snmp_community) it errors out with the message: "An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: urllib.error.URLError: <urlopen error [Errno 111] Connection refused>"
I'm new to Ansible on Big-IP platform. Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
