Use the TD api and read username/password from yaml file.

Definition

Override hosts#create to also create an asset in TD via its REST API
TD API credentials appId to be read from a yaml file Comments
Create REST call takes a TD asset as input, only one attribute 'status' is required.
Define Error case, if create call fails, what feedback do we want on UI?
We should talk about what all attributes we would want to POST. see https://api.teamdynamix.com/TDWebApi/Home/type/TeamDynamix.Api.Assets.Asset

Rails has after hooks for create to do such things: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/active_record_callbacks.html

We want to store the fqdn or a uniqueid in TD so a url can be generated back to foreman. We also want to create a new field for hosts in Foreman to store the Asset uniqueid in TeamDynamix so we can reference the TD asset later for display etc.
