[Bug 1935847] [NEW] [RFE] Basic Authentication Support for Standalone Neutron

 

Public bug reported:

There are number of use-cases where users would like run standalone
neutron (at times along with some other services like Ironic for
baremetal provisioning), but would still need some basic authentication
for users accessing neutron APIs.

Though it's probably possible to deploy neutron with a web server and
the configure the web server for basic authentication, it can be a big
'overhead' for small deployments to deploy web server for standalone
neutron and configure it for basic auth.

Also, projects like TripleO still does not deploy neutron with
httpd+mod_wsgi due to some issues encountered earlier. The current
proposal of a light TripleO undercloud with standalone neutron with
basic authentication would benefit from this feature.

It's possible to implement a simple basic auth middleware which is non-
invasive and provide the desired feature for standalone neutron.
