Directory Service support for Node API

All our HSTS transfer users are authenticated via Active Directory, because we like centralized user management. Sometimes we need to create Node API users for integrations with external parties and associate them with transfers users. Those Node API users have their own usernames and password that are stored locally on the HSTS. It would be good if we could authenticate those users via a directory service as well to avoid any local user accounts on the HSTS.

    The Node API supports authorization through JWT based bearer 
    tokens. Rather than using Basic Authentication, configure your
    node users with a public key, then use your Active Directory based infrastructure to sign a JWT payload that the Node API can
    validate and then allow authorization.
