   MFT Agents communicate with the controller through the consul key-value 
store. 
https://github.com/apache/airavata-mft/blob/master/common/common-clients/src/main/java/org/apache/airavata/mft/admin/MFTConsulClient.java
 Consul keys are represented through paths and each agent has its own path to 
access messages. Currently there is no mechanism to control access to those 
paths as anyone can read from it. We can use the Access Control setup provided 
through consul to enforce authorization for agent communication. 
https://developer.hashicorp.com/consul/tutorials/security/access-control-setup-production
 The idea is,
   
   1. No open access to any consul path is provided. All communication should 
happen through Consul tokens.
   2. When an agent needs to connect to consul, it is give a consul token and 
agent can only access a particular path using that token.
