Unable to Use Basic Authentication with Any User Except 'admin' in Ansible Automation Platform 2.5

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Basic authentication via the API fails for all users except the admin account. This affects both:

    • Local users (e.g., awximportuser)
    • LDAP-authenticated users (Active Directory)

Even though the users can log into the web UI and perform administrative actions, they receive the following error when accessing the API via curl:

"Please enter a correct username and password. Note that both fields may be case-sensitive."

Environment

  • Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform 2.5
