                 Key: WOOKIE-331
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WOOKIE-331
             Project: Wookie
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Server
            Reporter: Scott Wilson
             Fix For: 0.10.0


As we remove the Admin UI its less easy to manage API keys if your only option 
is the REST API; there are also no actual DB relationships between API keys and 
the rest of the data model. For these reasons I'm proposing to change the 
storage of API keys to a configuration text file, e.g.

#
# Scott's API key for testing
#
bananas = [email protected]


This file could then be edited directly by the server admin to make changes if 
they don't want to manage the server through the REST API.

As with policies it means existing implementations have to migrate from the DB 
to the text file, but this should be trivial.
