[the-datatank] RFC: multiple users with Basic Auth

[Pieter Colpaert]

Hi all,

A problem right now happens when you want a different username / 
password to handle the tdt/input admin interface than the tdt/core admin 
interface, or when you would want a different user for the Worker than 
for the job admin.

A possible way to fix it is to implement basic auth in tdt/start by 
adding something optional to cores.json. For instance:

{
"input" : {
"namespace" : "tdt\\input",
"routes" : {
"GET | TDTInput/Worker/?" : "scheduler\\controllers\\Worker",
"GET | TDTInput/?(?P<format>\\.[a-zA-Z]+)?" : 
"scheduler\\controllers\\InputResourceController",
"GET | TDTInput/(?P<resource>.*)\\.(?P<format>[a-zA-Z]+)" : 
"scheduler\\controllers\\InputResourceController",
"GET | TDTInput/(?P<resource>.*?)(?P<test>/test)?" : 
"scheduler\\controllers\\InputResourceController",
"PUT | TDTInput/(?P<resource>.*)" : 
"scheduler\\controllers\\InputResourceController",
"POST | TDTInput/?" : "scheduler\\controllers\\InputResourceController",
"DELETE | TDTInput/(?P<resource>.*)" : 
"scheduler\\controllers\\InputResourceController"
},
"auth":[
"username1" : {
"password" : "******",
"routes" : [ //just type the beginning of one or multiple routes defined ↑
"PUT | ", "POST | " , "DELETE", "GET | TDTInput/?","GET | TDTInput/("
]
},
"username2" : {
"password" : "******",
"routes" : [
"GET | TDTInput/Worker"
]
}
]
},
... //same for tdt/core
}


What do you think?
