      To be able to function with Digest Auth, the plugin requires the UserManager
      configuration to have an additional directory and a realm:

      <extension target="org.nuxeo.ecm.platform.usermanager.UserService" point="userManager">
      <userManager>
      <digestAuthDirectory>some_directory</digestAuthDirectory>
      <digestAuthRealm>NUXEO</digestAuthRealm>
      </userManager>
      </extension>

      This directory must have an id field and password field configured.

      Description

      We need to implement RFC 2617 HTTP DIGEST AUTH support in Nuxeo.
      Even if the standard is old and not widely used, it is a requirement for WSS/WebDav under recent versions of MS Windows.

      An initial implementation has been contributed by Gagnavarslan
      => see : http://hg.nuxeo.com/sandbox/nuxeo-fs-connector/rev/712c9a606296

      This initial implementation contains both a AuthPlugin (for the filter) and a LoginModulePlugin (for the LoginModule).

      See : http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2617
