Authentication

This is still an open issue. So far, for small installations, only the use of so called functional accounts is supported. The user credentials are to be specified in scicatlive4daphne/config/backend/functionalAccounts.json and are imported from here into the underlying MongoDB. This process is triggered on each start or restart of the backend service. Once imported, the account credentials are no longer needed in functionalAccounts.json and should be removed from this file to avoid security threats.
