Environment

VMware Cloud Foundation 9.x

Cause

The Workload Domain Cluster creation workflow was initially initiated and failed. Subsequently, a password rotation task was executed. When the Cluster creation workflow was retried after the password change, the process encountered authentication failures due to the use of outdated  service account credentials.
