Identity management as new micro-service

[mdehn]

Currently OSCM uses built-in authentication with users managed internally by OSCM, by an external LDAP system or by a SAML identity provider.
To better integrate with cloud native environments, use a micro-service as identity system for user authentication and authorization.
Such an independent authentication service must come with a REST API pluggable by any other micro-service and must support single sign-on.

This feature is planed for OSCM 18.0.
