Feature Summary

I have created an application credential in openstack, which I want to use it while creating a credential in AWX with Type "Openstack". Which I will use it for creating an inventory and syncing it all times. But in AWX I see the option to add username / password (or api key). Do we have a method for adding the application credentials from Openstack to AWX ?

what do you mean by "application credentials from Openstack"? is this a token? can you provide an example

Hi @fosterseth, When I create a token for a user and provide it in AWX credentials, it may expire over time. I create multiple OpenStack inventories, So it is hard to update all of the credentials over the time when it expires. So it is possible to create application credentials in Openstack for user which will not expire. But it seems like AWX is not accepting application credentials.

@john-westcott-iv can you take a look at this? do you think this would be a good use case for a custom credential?
