We discussed that RFE today on the drivers meeting and we agreed to not
accepting it for Neutron. We think that better place for such middleware
would be oslo or maybe some new repository.

Title:
  [RFE] Basic Authentication Support for Standalone Neutron

Status in neutron:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  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.
