Description
Currently the web console only support HTTP BASIC authentication with its own "user management". There is no way of supporting multiple users with varying access rights.
Some applications already have infrastructure to authenticate users and/or to define access control, such as JAAS, OSGi User Admin or other ...
Guillaume Nodet in [1] proposed a service interface to plug such access control. The Web Console should be enhance to support this service API and fall back to the current setup if no service is available.
