PROFILE
Stevenson Michel
Worked on the ansible/awx repository over four months, focusing on backend development and security improvements using Django, Python, and YAML. Delivered features such as deprecating legacy OAuth2 authentication in favor of token-based mechanisms, enhancing access control with stricter cross-organization credential sharing, and refining team-project permission checks. Addressed user experience by removing unnecessary deprecation warnings to reduce alert noise. Implemented and later reverted token-based authentication for the AWX CLI to align with evolving security policies, updating documentation and tests accordingly. The work emphasized robust API development, precise deprecation management, and careful testing to ensure maintainability and compliance with security standards.

Feb 1, 2026February 2026 monthly summary: Focused on security policy-driven work in the AWX project (ansible/awx). Implemented token-based authentication for the AWX CLI to evaluate flexibility and security, then reverted token-based auth to strengthen security posture by defaulting to session-based or basic authentication. Work was tracked under AAP-65384 with explicit commits and tests updated to support the policy decision.

Aug 1, 2025Month: 2025-08 — Delivered OAuth2 Legacy Deprecation and Token-based Authentication Migration in ansible/awx. Deprecated the legacy OAuth2 Application feature across APIs, configurations, and Ansible collection modules, with deprecation notices and migration guidance toward token-based authentication. Included a minor test fix to handle potential None values and to align with lint rules. Result: clearer security posture, reduced legacy surface, and a smoother upgrade path for users.
