There was a problem hiding this comment.
it can not contain any ', "
maybe we should limit it

Description
This PR adds a realm configuration option to several authentication plugins (basic-auth, key-auth, hmac-auth, jwt-auth, ldap-auth). This allows users to customize the realm value returned in the WWW-Authenticate header when an authentication request fails with a 401 Unauthorized status.
This is in line with standard concept in the HTTP authentication protocol (RFC 7235). It indicates to the client which "protection area" the currently requested resource belongs to. This helps the client (such as a browser or API client) determine which set of credentials to use to re-initiate the request.
