---------------------------------------------------------------

First of all it's obvious (for me) that endpoints should be well secured 
because of sensitive information.

Unfortunately I've made mistake in the title of this task. 
I think about "Add authentication support (*temporary implementation using* 
-via- HTTP basic authentication)".
First I will create basic solution to have grounds for enhanced it (ex. with 
"digest access authentication" or "WSSE UsernameToken" or HTTPS). 

I also agree that "HTTP basic" isn't secure method.

Sergey mentioned about very important thing:
bq. If we use the basic auth then HTTPS will have to be set up which may be a 
bit of a headache if people just would like to view logs

Easy configuration is crucial. We should keep this in mind.

At the moment I don't know what is the best solution for us. I must think about 
this for a while.

Thanks for your help.
