Graphite Basic Auth - Username and Password about rearview

[talbright]

Can you try to set the auth string in https://github.com/livingsocial/rearview/blob/master/conf/common.conf#L110 using the following rules:

It is a bit of a pain to have to base64 encode it yourself by hand, but this should work.

Another option would be to add your password to the common.conf graphite.auth entry and to do the encoding in Scala in the Global object:

https://github.com/livingsocial/rearview/blob/master/app/rearview/Global.scala#L41

something like:

lazy val graphiteAuth = config.getString("graphite.auth").map {auth => new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder().encode(auth.getBytes)}.getOrElse(exitMsg("graphite.auth must be defined in configuration"))

Which would take the auth string: "paul:comanche" and turn it into cGF1bDpjb21hbmNoZQ==
