Problem:
Basic Auth not working as expected. When running a playbook locally using an ini it works as expected. Running via job I get:

fatal: [win-iot-1.int.m-box.de]: UNREACHABLE! => {"changed": false, "msg": "basic: auth method basic requires a password", "unreachable": true}

Expected outcome:

Foreman and Proxy versions:
3.14

Foreman and Proxy plugin versions:

Distribution and version:
Rocky Linux 9.5
