Hi Thomas, My name is Kai from project Rhino team now working on the topic of "Token based authentication and single sign on". I am glad to know that you are interested in this topic and I'd love to work with you for that. > Hello Devs, > My name is Thomas and I'm currently doing my master research on "Secure > Hadoop cluster over inter-cloud environment'.

That's the fun part about the Apache community, you can almost always find someone else to work with you. You and I can get this going and I am sure others with interest on this area will join in to help. > I'd like to know your opinion about what should be feasible for me. I created a Jira entry here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9392, let's continue our discussion there. > Actually, I'm kinda interested by the third point "Token based authentication > and single sign on" because nobody has started it yet and it is something > that could be interesting for my "intercloud environment". > Plus, if you have some ideas, hints, documentations or links to mailling list > discussion that could help me for the start, it would be wonderful ^^. Please see the jira for our initial goals, we can continue the discussion from there. > Thanks. > Best regards. > N. Thomas
