What is the nature and description of the request?

Make it easier to setup Automation Calculator. As it stands right now, Ansible Automation Platform 2.5 requires that user enter their Red Hat (console.redhat.com) credentials in order to get Automation Controller to work. Reason for this is that the code for Automation Controller makes HTTP requests to console.redhat.com to pull information from the hosted analytics platform. But what if the customer is behind a corporate proxy?

To get around this issue, the customer will have to modify the `/etc/supervisord.conf` file to add the HTTP proxy variables such as `HTTP_PROXY`, `HTTPS_PROXY`, and `NO_PROXY`. Then will have to restart Automation Controller services for the changes to take affect.

Another thing that customers will have to worry about is the AAP installer updating the `/etc/supervisord.conf` file which occurs anytime the installer is ran. So the manual changes to the file are not permanent.

Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)

• Makes it easier to configure AAP to get Automation Calculator working.

How would you like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)

• Update the Automation Controller settings to include automation calculator proxy config

• Potentially create a UI to set the proxy settings

List any affected known dependencies: Doc, UI etc..

• UI
• Controller API
