clarencen/lshift — Issue #99: Introduce Authentication and Authorization
Author: clarencen

State: open

We need to be able to authenticate and authorize users to the UI (and the underlying the REST calls). Here are some of the features we may need:

* Authenticate via internal users database (may require password recovery);
* Authenticate via LDAP/AD;
* Support for different roles (admin vs. non-admin)
* Restrict access to certain groups;
* Restrict access to certain pairings;
* ..... ?

This ticket can potentially get split into two separate tickets, i.e. one for pure authentication and one for authorization, if this makes things more practical to implement.
