That’s a big question. We already support oauth2 as of last week. Kerberos probably needs to be implemented in the context of Ansible itself and there’s already some discussion around that on the issue tracker. Not sure how useful OIDC will be in the grand scheme of things. Your best bet is to look at what’s open in our issue tracker and come chat with us on IRC lest you start in on something that we wouldn’t merge.
