Implement user + password authentication mechanism

[carma12]

The most basic authentication method is via username + password.

In order to do that, two API endpoints need to be defined:

• To perform the login through the /ipa/session/login_password URL
• To perform the logout by using the session_logout IPA command

Some modifications have been done in the code to implement this functionality:

• The App and AppRoutes components are now relying on the Redux data only (specifically to the userLoggedIn variable) to determine the user status (logged in or not)
• In the LoginMainPage components, the function onLoginButton has been implemented to manage the logic received of the userPasswordLogin endpoint
• Related to the above: As any result (successful or not) is returned by the endpoint as an HTML, the solution for handling this has been to determine the outcome based on its response status:
  • If there is an error, this will be shown as a result in a modal (errorModal), allowing the user to modify its credentials
  • If it's a success, then it will redirect to the default page ('Active users')

Nice, works well. I'd like to see server.ipa.demo goto the modern UI login page instead of the old one, but I guess that can come later :-)

I'm not sure what you mean exactly. It is possible to perform the login from the modern WebUI via https://server.ipa.demo/ipa/modern_ui/login

For the current WebUI, it is expected to use the old login page (from now) :)
