Provide other authentication mechanisms #5

Closed chrispoole643 closed 7 years ago

It's desirable for the server to be able to authenticate those who access the endpoints using LDAP, client certs, OAuth, etc. HTTP basic auth is currently supported.

My suggestion is that we continue using PassportJS, adding support for the extra desired strategies. Basic auth can be kept as a fallback, and otherwise the authentication mechanism should be easy for the user to configure, similar to Hyperledger Composer.
