[opdev] https and authentication

[Pierre Lindenbaum]

Hi all,
my latest version of the web server...
* ... now runs under https (secure)
* ... contains a login/password filter requiring a user authentication.

I currently store the privileges in a simple xml file where the
password are hidden using 'sha1sum'. Of course, it is easy to create
groups of privileges

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<operon-users>
<user username="anonymous"
sha1Password="da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709" mpanel="r"/>
<user username="root"
sha1Password="dd94709528bb1c83d08f3088d4043f4742891f4f" mpanel="r+w"/>
</operon-users>

Mario, I really need a ~schema of the database and a clear orientation
of my developments . Moreover, my program starts to be bugged because
some fields are declared in the structures but not saved in the db :
e.g. 'sc / meta data status code id' in the structure 'snpMap' was not
saved in bdbenv.c/bdbenv_insert_snpmap
