Description

We should be able to connect to the secured broker using REST API. The idea mechanism for that would be reusing Authorization header in HTTP request that is used to secure web servers. The format of the header is

Authorization: Basic base64(username:password)

and that could be supplied by turning on basic auth on Jetty, or set directly by the http client.
