The lookup plugin 'nios_next_ip' failed: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'

[Lucas Weir]

Hello i have a strange issue where i am trying to run an Infoblox ansible playbook on a remote RHEL 9 node. When i run the playbook on the RHEL 9 node local CLI it works perfectly, however when i run from rundeck with the same exact parameters i get the following error. It appears to be related to special characters in a password. If i supply the wrong password i get access denied response. Any ideas on why this would occur when running from rundeck?
