Hi Everyone,

I am trying to trigger an awx job from one of our application which uses groovy programming language.

I am not sure, is this possible or not. I hope, it can be done using AWX REST API.  
As a first step, from the groovy script, i need to login to awx by passing login credentials to work further with templates and jobs.

Please anyone suggest how we can achieve this from a groovy script?

Thanks in advance  
Hari
