mhenke1 opened a new pull request #3788: Store and pass variant data in AuthKey
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk/pull/3788
 
 
   This PR allows to store variant data in the Authkey that is part of the use identity and pass this data 
   to the user container via environment variables.
   
   ## Description
   This PR is preparing the introduction of a authentication SPI. One prerequisite for supporting different authorization mechanisms is the ability to pass the information contained in this authorization artifacts down to the user containers (e.g. to call out to other services using 
   these artifacts). This ability is implemented by serializing the information into a JSON structure
   that is mixed in into environment available to the runtimes.
