Unable to connect multiple instances to the dashboard

[abwalczyk]

Under our current inventory and clusters.yaml file, we are unable to connect multiple instances of AAP to the dashboard. I see a few issues but there may be others:

1. In the inventory file we have specified API endpoints based on versions. If you try to connect two different versions of AAP one will have to fail because the endpoints are incorrect for that version.
2. To sync data you need a PAT. When you create the PAT you are supposed to connect it to an OAuth application. If I create an OAuth application for a 2nd AAP instance, there is nowhere to reference it in the inventory file

I tested trying to configure a 2nd instance and was blocked trying to set clusters.

As a side note I'm curious if it would work if the versions are the same without having to OAuth into the second instance. I haven't tested this but could potentially be a security flaw.

Yes, that's the problem. After implementing oauth, it makes no sense to have multiple AAP instances. We need to consider implementing oauth in multiple instances and then on the dashboard you can only view data from the currently logged in aap instance.

By the way, AWX instances are blocked by default, that was the requirement.

This requirement will be moved post release.
