Demo code for secure authentication

Auth Demos

Various demos showing component pieces for doing secure authentication via HTTP Basic Auth.

Our aim is to use TLS in conjunction with Basic Auth, so that we're not sending plain text passwords over the wire.

For our use case, we're also interested in validating the returned credentials (i.e., username and password) against an LDAP server.
