feat(users/auth) - Use standard Bearer authentication scheme #375

Closed tucosaurus closed 5 years ago

tucosaurus commented 5 years ago

Why was this change necessary?

Token scheme currently used is not the HTTP auth standard https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Authentication#Authentication_schemes

How does it address the problem?

Changes to the standard Bearer auth scheme.
Adds documentation for authentication

Are there any side effects?

Yes. Clients for the new projects would now have to authenticate using the Bearer scheme instead of the token one.
