Private PPAs are accessed with basic auth using https: URLs to private-
ppa.launchpad.net.

https://stub:secretkeyfromlp@private-
ppa.launchpad.net/teamname/ppaname/ubuntu

It would be great if add-apt-repository accepted this or a similar URL,
use it to retrieve the signing key security and add it as a source.

Title:
  Support Private PPAs

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Software properties add-apt-repository currently does not support
  adding private PPAs.

  software-properties should connect to the API and observe that it gets
  permission denied trying to read the ppa. Then it can reconnect to the
  API asking for authentication, which will open a browser window where
  you can do the openid ritual. Then using that token it ought to be
  possible for it to get the password etc.

  
  ProblemType: BugDistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04
