Authentication API

DOMS will use the Fedora authentication system to authenticate users of the system.

This means that authentication is handled by using the HTTP authentication mechanism used by Fedora.

Best practice is using the function ["Fedora 3.0 API/Access#describMethod"] to check credentials on first login.

In TestBed we will simply be using fedora-users.xml to define users. In the final production system, see http://www.fedora-commons.org/documentation/3.0b2/userdocs/server/security/securingrepo.html - we will use the LdapFilterForAttributes filter.
