User Story {Why is the functionality/enhancement needed}:

We need to flesh out authentication for the middleware software found

here: https://gitlab.com/electriphi/public-facing-api

We need to be able to take in some kind of credentials, and use those credentials to determine
which depot we send the authenticated API request to.

Describe the new functionality/enhancement:

Logic that is capable of authenticating user requests has been designed, and also preferably
developed. In theory, this logic should also determine which depot the APIO request should be sent
to.

Business Justification Narrative — {business use-case for this request}:

We need to be able to authenticate. It is paramount to the viability of the External API.

Acceptance Criteria — {what is the expected behavior}:

We have logic that exists that can properly authenticate.

QA Test Steps:

No QA required for this issue.
