Hi Documentation team! ;)

When discussing BUG 1563540 we came to conclusion, that it would be nice to have this mentioned in the documentation for Ansible provider as well.

The issue is that user has to have enabled "Enable HTTP BASIC Auth" in Ansible Tower settings. Otherwise the provider can't be added.

The switch can be found in Ansible Tower at:

Settings (cog button on top right) -> Configure Tower -> System -> ENABLE HTTP BASIC AUTH.

In the attachment 1474721 [details] you can see how the switch looks like.
