Enabling OpAMP Supervisor Authentication with Extension
Component(s)
cmd/opampsupervisor
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Some vendors have specific authentication methods and the current authentication method between the OpAMP server and OpAMP supervisor is not sufficient. Currently, the only way to solve this problem is to create fork and add custom authentication methods there.
Describe the solution you'd like
It would be useful to reuse the authentication extensions that are already available. To do this, the supervisor needs to be modified to include the extension in its build. Furthermore, the current supervisor configuration must be extended to allow for the definition of the extension and enable its use in the server definition.
The first step will be to attempt to add extensions to the supervisor in their current form along with all the required dependencies. This will help us determine the number of dependencies needed and whether this number is acceptable for us.
Describe alternatives you've considered
An alternative would be to somehow separate the logic responsible for authentication from that required by the collector of each extension. This would reduce the number of dependencies needed for the supervisor. Unfortunately, this solution requires changes to the collector, which will make it much more time-consuming. For this reason, we decided to try the first approach for now.
