Michael Martell updated GEODE-2854:
-----------------------------------
Description:
The REST API docs don't document how to do authentication. Looks like HEAD
params "security-username" and "security-password" are supported but
undocumented in the REST API.
There is a comment about REST auth in this link:
https://geode.apache.org/docs/guide/11/managing/security/implementing_authentication.html
Also, the docs seem to imply that you pass usr/passwd in the http headers such
as 'security-username' and 'security-password'. However, it only works using
HTTP Basic Authentication, which Spring must be translating on the server side
into the 'security-username' and 'security-password' params.
