Missing authentication support to connect to IoT Agent Manager

[chicco785]

currently there is no authentication support for the self subscription of agents to the IoT Agent Manager

[AlvaroVega]

Typically iotagent-manager is exposed through pep https://github.com/telefonicaid/fiware-pep-steelskin to provide authentication and control access.

@AlvaroVega the issue I wanted to raise, is not how to protect the iot manager but the fact that if the iot manager is protected, the node-lib (differently from the case of the context broker) has not a mechanism to self-register the iot agent to the iot agent manager leveraging on an authentication mechanisms :)

IoT Agents are usually deployed in the same network segment as the Context Broker, inside a secure network.

This would imply that for edge deployments you would need to set-up a vpn between the iot agent and the iot agent manager. I think it may be worth to add support for auth. We may look in to that if we have resources to do that. iFede - Fede's mobile edition
