I’m playing around with an AD inventory plugin from [joshinryz/ansible\_ldap\_inventory: Active Directory (LDAP) Inventory Plugin for Ansible (github.com)](https://github.com/joshinryz/ansible_ldap_inventory)

However, this plugin (and a few others) rely on kinit successfully being ran and holding a valid TGT before executing.

Any idea how I can ensure that kinit is ran in tower/awx?  
Or is this something I would need to modify into the plugin myself?
