The setup is that there is an existing web application where the user 
interacts with the application using a browser. The application uses an 
external identity provider to authenticate the user, and the calls to 
the midPoint REST api come from the backend of the application. There is 
a 1:1 correspondance between users in the identity provider and users in 
midPoint. "SSO" may not be the technically correct term here, but anyway 
I would like to let the application backend use midPoint REST api as the 
authenticated user. There is an Apache httpd in front of midPoint, so it 
can be used for verifying tokens or similar tasks.
