描述
ISSUE TYPE
- Add Client Credentials Grant oauth2 authorization
SUMMARY
Currently, if I want to connect an application to AWX API for machine to machine connections, I need to use password grant type authentication. It's probably possible to use authorization code or personal access tokens but they are not designed for machine to machine.
Using Password Grant is not recommended for machine to machine for security reasons.
Client Credentials Grant oauth2 authorization is what is recommended for machine to machine.
