This is an improvement upon existing implementation
by avoiding transfer of access and secret keys over
the network. This change only exchanges JWT tokens
generated by an rpc client. Even if the JWT can be
traced over the network on a non-TLS connection, this
change makes sure that we never really expose the
secret key over the network.
Make sure to skip reserved bucket names in `ListBuckets()`
current code didn't skip this properly and also generalize
this behavior for both XL and FS.
* Rename GenericArgs to AuthRPCArgs
* Rename GenericReply to AuthRPCReply
* Remove authConfig.loginMethod and add authConfig.ServiceName
* Rename loginServer to AuthRPCServer
* Rename RPCLoginArgs to LoginRPCArgs
* Rename RPCLoginReply to LoginRPCReply
* Version and RequestTime are added to LoginRPCArgs and verified by
server side, not client side.
* Fix data race in lockMaintainence loop.
Previously, more than one goroutine calls RPCClient.dial(), each
goroutine gets a new rpc.Client but only one such client is stored
into RPCClient object. This leads to leaky connection at the server
side. This is fixed by taking lock at top of dial() and release on
return.
