[Bug]: DH Key creation fails

[krausi24]

Summary

When using the netscaler.adc.ssldhparam module, creation of a DH Key fails.

My suggest is that "float" datatype is wrong for the "bits" parameter. Float adds a "." like 2048.0 which obviously fails.

Steps to Reproduce

---
- name: Create SSL DH Key
  tags: netscaler_SSLPROFILE_DHKEY
  delegate_to: localhost
  netscaler.adc.ssldhparam:
    nsip: "{{ ansible_host }}"
    nitro_user: "{{ nitro_user }}"
    nitro_pass: "{{ nitro_pass }}"
    validate_certs: "{{ validate_certs }}"
    state: "{{ dhkey_state }}"

    bits: "{{ item['DHKEY_bits'] }}"
    dhfile: "{{ item['DHKEY_dhfile'] }}"
    gen: "{{ item['DHKEY_gen'] }}"


Vars:
dhkey_state: "create"
dhkeys:
  - DHKEY_bits: 2048
    DHKEY_dhfile: "nsconfig/ssl/dhkey_gen2_2048"
    DHKEY_gen: "2"

Expected Results

Dhkey is created

Additional Notes

My suggest is that "float" datatype is wrong for the "bits" parameter. Float adds a "." like 2048.0 which obviously fails.

GUI working:
{"params":{"action":"create","warning":"YES"},"ssldhparam":{"dhfile":"/nsconfig/ssl/dhkey1024","bits":"1024","gen":"2"}}
vs.
Ansible non working:
{"ssldhparam": {"bits": 2048.0, "dhfile": "nsconfig/ssl/dhkey_gen2_2048",
