Graphite basicauth not actually authenticated

[marnixAvansBreda]

I noticed that the basic auth credentials in /datasources/graphite/graphite.json (guest/guest) do not actually get authenticated.
I know that these credentials (guest/guest from .htpasswd) are used for the graphite (admin) dashboard, but how does Graphite as a datasource actually use authentication?

Aha, I wonder if its an mistake from my side: We did a switch from our own home grown setup to use the default containers for Graphite. I should probably just remove that then.

For securing I use ipfw firewall, I'm gonna add some examples for that when I update the docs for setting up Graphite on AWS.
