.Modules from Satellite Ansible Collection support Kerberos authentication

When using Ansible modules from the Satellite Ansible Collection, you can use a Kerberos ticket to connect to the Satellite API. Using a Kerberos ticket is supported for deployments where the Satellite Server is configured to use Identity Management as an external authentication source.

For more information, see link:https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_satellite/6.18/html-single/using_the_satellite_ansible_collection/index#creating-a-playbook-with-modules-from-satellite-ansible-collection[Creating a playbook with modules from Satellite Ansible Collection] in _Using the Satellite Ansible Collection_.

Release Note Status:
Done

Users can authenticate using Kerberos instead of username/password when using Ansible Modules

Acceptance Criteria:

Given a valid Kerberos ticket and no username/password, our Ansible Modules work
IDM Kerberos is working
Passing in username/password to make the Ansible Modules do the Krb authentication for the user is explicitly not expected to work
