We noticed when installing SSO on our Jenkins instance that we run into errors with authorization to download plugins because we cannot get a crumb. One way around this is to use an api token instead of password to download plugins and use the force_basic_auth param (that param is not properly integrated into the jenkins_plugin module to create a basic auth header at this time, see PR above).
Groovy script to create an API token only on start up happens when jenkins_use_api_token param is true (default is false) and it is expected that the user would provide the value of the intended API token controlled by jenkins_api_token.
