remote authentication

to use remote authentication for session setup start the server with SSO=true environment variable set

SSO=true gwt run

which expect the authentication server running on localhost:3000 and an authentication restful service:

• localhost:3000/authentications POST: will authenticate the credentials and returns a user with its groups or an unauthenticated empty response
• localhost:3000/authentications/reset_password POST: will reset the password for the given login without any response data

the used datastructures are:

• authentication
  • login
  • password # not used for reset_password

the result

• user
  • login
  • name
  • groups # list of groups
• group
  • name
