Gerrit Authentication Cookie about concourse-resources

[lann]

It isn't well documented, but if your Gerrit instance is configured for it you can get instructions by logging in and going to Settings -> HTTP Credentials -> Obtain password. You can see an example of this on the Gerrit project's own instance: https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/new-password

I would also accept a patch (or will get around to it eventually™) adding other auth support. The underlying gerrit library already supports this: https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/build/gerrit#Auth

It seems that I need to think about patch to provide authentication capabilities :( Thanks for the explanation.

Do you use glide or any other vendoring tool?

I have been using golang/dep.

What do you think, is it better to replace:

• cookies with

  auth:
     cookies
  

and extend authentication methods by:

auth:
  user:
  password:

• or just extend model by optional:

   user:
   password:

• any other suggestions?

Looking at the existing Concourse resources, I think top level username and password fields would be most consistent.

[venth]

OK, I've started to work on that
