Hello Team

In order to integrate an external application with the AWX API, we are using OAuth 2 Token Authentication but due to security requirements, we are being challenged to use Certificate based authentication with X.509 certificates. Do you know if there are any plans in the future to support this solution?

Thanks

Paulo.

There are no current plans to support this. Feel free to open an RFE on github AWX issues explaining in detail the use case
