RHAAP/AWX
Squest need to be connected to a RHAAP (Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform) or AWX controller in order to work.
Operations in Squest services are actually pointers to job templates in those controllers.
Squest will need a token in order to communicate to the API of your RHAAP/AWX instance.
RHAAP/AWX configuration
Create an application:
On RHAAP/AWX, go in Application menu and create a new app with the following configuration:
- name: squest
- Organization: Default
- Authorization grant type: Resource owner password based
- Client type: Confidential
Create a token:
- Go in your Profile page (top right corner), go into the tokens section
- Click add button
- Search for the "squest" application created previously and select it
- Give a scope "write"
- Save and copy the generated token. This will be the token to give to Squest when creating a new RHAAP/AWX server instance.
Add a controller in Squest
Configuration:
| Name | Description |

| Token | Token created from the previous section |

| SSL verify | Enable this flag to check the server certificate |
