For Ansible Tower service include extra_vars needed to connect to our REST API

[mkanoor]

Our Ansible Tower Service doesn't pass in the extra vars necessary to connect to the REST API end point.

manageiq/app/models/service_ansible_tower.rb

Line 12 in 52f4215

@job = job_class.create_job(job_template, job_options)

These extra vars are under the key manageiq

manageiq

• api_token
• api_url
• user
• group
• X_MIQ_Group
• service
• request_task

The request_task allows us to access a task based on the RBAC request. A Task cannot be directly accessed it can only be accessed via the request

For Ansible Playbook service we pass in extra vars that allows us to connect to REST API

manageiq/app/models/service_ansible_playbook.rb

Line 64 in 52f4215

def manageiq_extra_vars(action)

Maybe we should have a mixin that allows both the tower and ansible playbook service to share the same code.

When run as an Automate Method we also pass in extra vars
https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq-automation_engine/blob/7d4752980d668d626177cabe63206381edd7f4aa/lib/miq_automation_engine/engine/miq_ae_engine/miq_ae_playbook_method.rb#L112

All these 3 pieces of code that interact with either the tower or embedded ansible need to pass in extra vars.

Please review this will allows us to share playbooks between embedded ansible and tower job templates using the same ext of extra vars

Briefly discussed with @lfu and she is going to look into solving this.
