During the process of building the Docker image for AWX version `24.6.1`, `make sdist` is executed:

> <https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/24.6.1/tools/ansible/roles/dockerfile/templates/Dockerfile.j2#L92>

As a result, it is likely that **the latest `main` branch of `ansible-ui` has been cloned, built and included as the UI**.

> <https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/24.6.1/awx/ui_next/Makefile#L9-L10>

Since the latest `ansible-ui` is based on an unreleased plaggable architecture, I believe that various authentication methods that should exist in version `24.6.1` are hidden.

The Makefile and Dockerfile are complex, so I can’t provide a simple workaround immediately, but I suspect the cause is as mentioned above.
