mhenke1 opened a new pull request #3752: Move uuid into namespace to decouple it from authkey
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk/pull/3752
 
 
   This PR makes the uuid an explicit part of a namespace  object containing name and uuid of a namespace.
   
   ## Description
   In many places the uuid stored in the authkey is now used as the unique way to identify
   a namespace. This behavior entangles the authorization mechanisms
   with other unrelated parts of the code, making changes and extensions of the authentication mechanism unnecessarily hard.
   
   This PR makes the uuid a member of a new namespace object containing the name and the
   uuid of the namespace. All references to the uuid that are not used on the context of authorization are using the new namespace object as source.
   
   [PG3:2227 succeeded]
