Bug Description

Problems occur, because users are identified by the two separate parameters "user" and "host". Urls look like this if there is no host part: privileges/users/myuser//schemata

The webserver strips the double slash (no host information there) -> no host part given.

Identifying will be changed to base64-encoded version of 'user@host'.
Urls will look like this: #privileges/users/dGVzdHVzZXIxQA==/schemata

summary: - Identifying users with a base64 hash would be mush more failsafe
+ Identifying users with a base64 hash would be much more failsafe
