Securing Join page

[TjebbeVQ]

Is there an easy way to password protect the join qr page so you have the control who can join the case study?

@dmikurube this could be a config setting to secure the page and credentials? VertX allows password protected https routes.

Hmm, it could be feasible, but generally speaking, I'd suggest to set such passwords in a kind of reverse proxies (ex. Nginx), not directly by the application server.

We could document how to use nginx reverse proxy to password protect a route, specifically the join study page on the README?

We may want to try, but it wouldn't be very trivial as there can be a lot of variations, for example, the operating system (Ubuntu, RedHat, ...), versions, and else.
