--- fixes: - | Fixes connection caching issues with Redfish BMCs where AccessErrors were previously not disqualifying the cached connection from being re-used. Ironic will now explicitly open a new connection instead of using the previous connection in the cache. Under normal circumstances, the ``sushy`` redfish library would detect and refresh sessions, however a prior case exists where it may not detect a failure and contain cached session credential data which is ultimately invalid, blocking future access to the BMC via Redfish until the cache entry expired or the ``ironic-conductor`` service was restarted.
