The aap_token parameter was added to the collection argspec and docs
in #16025, but nothing consumed it after token auth was removed in
#15623: modules silently ignored the token and fell back to basic
auth, breaking token authentication through the AAP gateway.
Wire it up so requests authenticate with the provided token (e.g. one
issued by the AAP gateway, which validates it and proxies to the
controller):
- Send "Authorization: Bearer <token>" in make_request when aap_token
is set, skipping the basic-auth login probe; basic auth is unchanged
when no token is given
- Accept the token as a string or as the dict set as a fact by the
ansible.platform.token module ({token: ..., id: ...}), which is the
documented cross-collection mint/use/delete workflow
- Restore controller_oauthtoken and tower_oauthtoken as aliases for
back-compat with pre-#15623 playbooks, matching downstream
- Forward aap_token through the controller_api lookup and controller
inventory plugins via short_params, and add the missing
CONTROLLER_OAUTH_TOKEN/TOWER_OAUTH_TOKEN env sources to the plugin
doc fragment (plugins resolve env vars from doc fragments, not
env_fallback); AAP_TOKEN is no longer marked deprecated there
- Support tokens in the awxkit-based export/import modules
- Add unit tests covering the Bearer header for both token forms, the
aliases, the bad-dict failure, and the basic-auth fallback
Verified end-to-end against a live gateway-fronted AAP 2.7 deployment:
modules, the lookup plugin, both aliases, all env sources, dict-form
tokens, job launch/wait, and a clean HTTP 401 on an invalid token.
