Subject: Implementation of a simple authentication service + in connector in
 route to making HGInventory (client access) work in standalone again. This is
 the refactoring of what was/is there, but done in the new model. Not complete
 yet, but key authentication works. It should be enough to make HGInventory
 work again soon.
