New authentication and authorization management

Current Situation

• JobScheduler comes with limited support for authentication and authorization.
• We face a rising demand for improved authenication and authorization.

Desired Behavior

• Basic Authentication Use Cases
  • Authentication with an Active Directory via LDAP
  • Authentication with a database
  • Authentication against a list of users
• Basic Authorization Use Cases
  • JOC
    • Restrict read-only access to job related objects and permissions to modify such objects
    • Restrict visibility of job related objects
  • JOE
    • Manage access to specific directories for storing job objects
    • Manage access to specific functions based on job objects, e.g. jobs, job chains, orders, schedules
