BASIC AUTH option on environments/containers

A handy feature would be a BASIC AUTH option on a web end point/load balancer. on nginx you would do something

server {
listen 80;
server_name your_domain.com;
location / {
auth_basic "Restricted Access";
auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.htpasswd;
}
}

Rather than have to deploy nginx into a cycle env and proxy all traffic via it just to put basic auth, it would be nice to have a "not intended for production use" option on an environments load balancer/firewall to do basic auth.

Two choices would be available: 1) Apply basic auth to the entire env 2) Apply to selected containers

and finally a simple gui to add basic auth users..

    Thanks for posting that Brad!

    I'll track this internally and post any updates here if we are able to implement.
