Option to use authentication

[devopstt]

We also want to create mirrors where we need authentication. We can pass user:[email protected] but it would be better to provide a user and password variable separated from the URL itself. Also the user+password is visible in the created graph, because it shows the whole URL including user and password. We can not provide the graph to others without leaking the credentials.

Context

Sae way to implement authentication. Dont leak any passwords in created graph.

Possible Implementation

Provide user and password variable.

Current aptly version: 1.4.0

did you try with recent code ?

[devopstt]

Do you mean the current code from master branch? Right now we are running on 1.4.0.

Can you point out the change? Because from my point of view, its still in the current code: https://github.com/aptly-dev/aptly/blob/cbf0416d7e5070f58d0b40fc1be3e771b0baacf4/deb/graph.go#L45

It uses ArchiveRoot to show the URL and this also contains the credentials.
