[occi-wg] OCCI 1.1 for OpenNebula

[florian.feldhaus at tu-dortmund.de]

Hi Alan,

I just implemented simple authentication for the OCCI server. I plan to
test/finnish actions and then setup a testbed for "public" testing. This
will probably take a week, but if it is needed sooner, I do my best to
speed things up.

Cheers,
Florian
