jthomas opened a new issue #193: Support IAM keys for Cloudant instances
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk-package-cloudant/issues/193
 
 
   The [source code](https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk-package-cloudant/blob/master/provider/app.js#L52) for the provider uses Basic auth to provide the username and password to the Cloudant instance. 
   
   ```
   var cloudant = require('@cloudant/cloudant')(dbProtocol + '://' + dbUsername + ':' + dbPassword + '@' + dbHost);
   ```
   
   Newer service keys for Cloudant now default to using IAM-based authentication....
   
   ```
   var cloudant = new Cloudant({ url: 'https://examples.cloudant.com', plugins: { iamauth: { iamApiKey: 'xxxxxxxxxx' } } });
   ```
   
   The provider should support both options for authentication based on whether the username and password or IAM API key are passed.
