> The REST API docs don't document how to do authentication. Looks like HEAD params "security-username" and "security-password" are supported but undocumented in the REST API.
> There is a comment about REST auth in this link: https://geode.apache.org/docs/guide/11/managing/security/implementing_authentication.html
> Also, the docs seem to imply that you pass usr/passwd in the http headers such as 'security-username' and 'security-password'. However, it only works using HTTP Basic Authentication, which Spring must be translating on the server side into the 'security-username' and 'security-password' params.
