             Summary: [Java Broker] Make HTTP Management interactive login 
pluggable
                 Key: QPID-7027
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-7027
             Project: Qpid
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Java Broker
            Reporter: Rob Godfrey
            Assignee: Rob Godfrey
            Priority: Minor


QPID-6965 make preemptive authentication pluggable for HTTP management - that 
is for requests where all necessary authentication information is included in 
the HTTP request.

Where interactive login is required the HTTP management currently always 
redirects to an in-built login page which requests a username and password.

While this solution is suitable for authentication mechanisms which only 
require a username and password, and where the broker owns the authentication 
data (or is trusted to know the credentials) this is a reasonable solution; 
however other authentication mechanisms may require other data - or the 
authentication mechanism may be external to the broker (and the broker should 
not be trusted with the users credentials) - e.g. if using OAUTH2 to 
authenticate.

To solve this problem we should make interactive logins pluggable in the same 
way as non-interactive preemptive authentication
