OAuth2 support for access_token=<token> as query parameter #36

Closed AlexMountain closed 6 years ago

GRiD 1.4.4 will be deploying an API v3 enhancement to support OAuth2 authentication using a passed in a query parameter containing the token instead of requiring it only in the header. This makes it much easier validate authentication for streaming urls.

An example: "greyhound_url": "http://<server_url>/<url_root>/greyhound/resource/122_980_4975/info?access_token=BdHPUrunjVDX8qnZXcQGjaksCXEYs1",

A new token management page has been added to the GRiD UI for easily generating a token that a user can use to plug into these services.

This has been added to v3 and is in GRiD 1.4.4.
