update/zabbix-api-params-changed-in-v6

[jschoewe]

This module does not work with Zabbix version 6 because they changed the user parameter in the user.login method. Added a version check to pass the correct params and removed user.authenticate method that has been deprecated since version 2.

Would be great it this could be merged

This seems to break compatibility with previous versions. And it is used by many projects already.
I think we should keep both use_authenticate and use_basic_auth options.

I think this can be merged now

Do the maintainers of this module even use Zabbix any more? @adubkov

Shouldn't this module be obsoleted in favor of zabbix_utils, which has been published officially by Zabbix?

I have migrated quite a number of scripts and automations and in a 99% of cases, at least when just interacting with Zabbix API (not talking about the "zabbix-sender" part of this module) this worked for me just out-of-the-box by exchanging the modules in the import statement of the script.

Ah, I didn't know this existed. Thanks for the reference!
