Expanding Authentication Methods for ScienceLogic integration

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

This Idea adds additional Authentication methods to the existing Science Logic integration. 

Based on the existing provided documentation: https://docs.sciencelogic.com/dev-docs/rest_toolkit_101/authentication/index.html , the following authentication methods are supported by ScienceLogic:

The REST Toolkit supports the following authentication mechanisms:

   Basic Authentication - simplest form of authentication (though unfortunately also the least secure). It uses a username and password and is built into the HTTP protocol.

   API Key Authentication - uses a generated key. The key is long lived and is currently only supported in the REST Toolkit when passed via header. Currently passing the API key in the payload or via query parameter is not supported.

   Token Based Authentication - also referred to as bearer authentication. There are many different implementations and the REST Toolkit currently supports a limited subset of the various authentication workflows.

   Oauth2 Authentication - open authentication standard, defined in RFC 6749. REST Toolkit supports Client Credentials (recommended) and Resource Owner Password Credentials Grant (not recommended).
