Add authentication realm to documentation #14

Closed IamLunchbox closed 6 months ago

IamLunchbox commented 6 months ago

When using an API-Token, Proxmox was complaining about not being able to authenticate. My user was created in the pve-realm, other realms might be provided by pam or ldap.

I had to fix this by adding the realm to the authentication information. I don't know if this workaround is only needed for the api-token authentication, but as far as I know, the proxmox-api always expects a login with the given realm, e.g. here. Maybe proxmoxer implies pam by default, but at least I had to adjust the authentication user like this:

driver:
  name: molecule-proxmox
  options:
    api_user: bot@pve #here
    [...]

I would propose to enhance to the documentation in this regard and created it myself - but since you were already working on the readme and I had not yet time to verify the behavior with password-based logins, I opted for an issue instead if an PR.

Thanks. The api_user has been a point of confusion. I believe the format is always "name@realm".

Is this better?

Apologies, I needed to rebase the main branch due to an earlier mistake. The new commit is

Thank you for your work! I think that's enough - otherwise I'll create a PR ;)
