[Dart] more secure submission

[Darby J Van Uitert]

Hi,

I am using Dart2 for our dashboard, which submits over http using 
xml-rpc. We want it be more secure (run over https or use scp) and I was 
wondering how other groups are dealing with this. I can think of a 
couple solutions:

  1) Use scp as the submission method. Is this implemented for Dart2 and 
using ctest to submit? If so, can someone give me an example of the 
CTestConfig.cmake file? Also, if we go this route, does each person 
submitting need a username and password?

  2) Use Apache instead of the embedded Jetty web server and use a self 
signed ssl certificate. Is anyone currently doing this? I've read 
through the documentation regarding using Apache to proxy requests to 
Dart. I believe with this approach, we can also force people to use a 
username and password.

  3) Add an additional servlet to Dart. This is the one I know the least 
about.

I'm hoping to get around requiring a username and password since we want 
people outside of our group to easily be able to submit to our 
dashboard. Any insights or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
