[Fiware-webui] Access Control for POI

[Ari Okkonen CIE]

Hi Philipp et al.

I asked about this from colleagues in Oulu. They had considered FIWARE
securityfor some other service, but were discouraged by the complexity.
First I tried Facebook login for its general popularity, but Its
behavior was cumbersome and/or unreliable. Google login seems
simple, sensible, reliable, and working. I try to make the architecture
for the user control such that it should be easy to introduce other
identification systems. I'll consider the FIWARE security next.
