Description

It would be great if a user could provide a ticket & CSRFPreventionToken on his own. Then usage of credential helper like this one: https://github.com/camaeel/proxmox-oidc-credential-helper could be helpful for automatically exchanging oidc credentials for ticket+CSRFPreventionToken pair.

Use Case(s)

I would like to stop using static long running passwords or api tokens in my setup, and use OIDC to obtain ticket+CSRFPreventionToken and use them with packer plugin.

Potential configuration

proxmox_ticket = string
CSRFPreventionToken = string

Hi @camaeel

packer-plugin-proxmox uses an upstream SDK library proxmox-api-go to interface with Proxmox backends. proxmox-api-go doesn't support this authentication method at present. Please raise an issue with the upstream SDK and if implemented, happy to look into this further.

@mpywell I created a ticket for proxmox-api-go.

@mpywell PR was implemented int proxmox-api-go: https://github.com/Telmate/proxmox-api-go/pull/373

@mpywell Hi, any chances for having proxmox-api-go bumped to recent version plus additional authentication fields exposed by this plugin?
