Document HTTP Basic Auth in QuestDB OSS #8

Closed goodroot closed 3 months ago

goodroot commented 3 months ago

From original @jerrinot PR:

This PR documents the new properties to enable HTTP Basic Auth in QuestDB Open Source. Besides this, it also:

  1. Document the new nm option introduced in https://github.com/questdb/questdb/pull/4639 - it's unrelated to security, but it's a tiny change so I squeezed it into this PR.
  2. Potentially controversial: Removes the guide on configuring ILP@TCP - the thing with jose, jq and what not. We recommend ILP@HTTP for new users. Authentication in ILP@TCP in QuestDB OSS is convoluted. With the introduction of HTTP Basic Auth in QuestDB there is no good reason why anyone should use ILP@TCP.

I feel we are still missing a guide on "security hardening": Explaining how to secure QuestDB for production usage, the difference between OSS and EE, etc.
