[sldev] Viewer Auth + Automated Login (was RE: More about viewer auth in today's RC)

[Tess Chu]

We have not begun working on this yet, but it is on our list.  We are 
currently swamped with usability bugs, working out login page 
cacheability, and we also have enabling proxying on our list.  I'll 
check back in as soon as I have a more specific date for this feature.
