Only disadvantage I see of doing it at AuthenHandler level is we end up 
doing that check for every single call from client no matter whether its 
a repo or package request. Not sure how expensive hitting mongo on every 
single request is. Doing it at file system symlink level might probably 
be less expensive that way.
