Idempotency not working for reverse proxy configuration set

[elijah-chan]

it seems that the reverse proxy configuration set function keeps inserting a new entry instead of not making any changes for eai-trigger-urls stanza

this is a snippet of my code

setEntries = [['trigger', '/pwd/testing']]
p(ibmsecurity.isam.web.reverse_proxy.configuration.entry.set(isamAppliance=isam_server, reverseproxy_id="sp-saml", stanza_id="eai-trigger-urls", entries=setEntries))

this is shown in the logs:

Entry found in rp:sp-saml, stanza:eai-trigger-urls, entryid:trigger, value:['/FIM/sps/auth*', '/FIM/sps/IDPFed/saml20/soap*', '/FIM/sps/IDPFed/saml20/slo*', '/FIM/sps/IDPFed/saml20/login*', '/mga/sps/oauth/oauth20/session*', '/mga/sps/auth*', '/mga/sps/authservice/authentication*', '/pwd/testing']

the result is this

                         '/mga/sps/authservice/authentication*',
                         '/pwd/testing',
                         '/pwd/testing']}

since the entry is already inside the list, why is the code adding it the entry again ?

I suspect it may the format of the input - will investigate this further.

The set is replacing the old list with the new list if the two lists are not the same. It is not adding a new value to the old list.
