Searchheads can not pull apps from Deployer on ansible env, error 401

- We tried to implement shclustering with splunk-ansible (https://github.com/splunk/splunk-ansible)
- But it is not possible to deploy apps from deployer, because scripts do not run initial push (unless specyfing splunk.apps_location), they rely on pulling configs from deployer instead

Problem is that pulling configs from deployer does not work until first push from deployer. Internally this request to deployer 'GET /services/apps/deploy?output_mode=json HTTP/1.1' fails with 401 status.
After the first push, this request is processed correctly with status 200.

I tried to reproduce error internally (outside ansible) and managed to do it, can provide you diags with debug logs.

I consider either Deployer implementation must be improved or ansible scripts to correctly handle shc.

 Steps to reproduce

1. Deploy SHCluster, 2. Restart any member of SHCluster, 3. Check its splunkd.log

If you're trying to manage apps on a SHC that is either bare metal, or running on VMs, take a look at: https://github.com/splunk/ansible-role-for-splunk

If you're trying to do it in Docker, I'd recommend filing an issue on the splunk-ansible GitHub project at:  https://github.com/splunk/splunk-ansible/issues
