Robert Kanter commented on HADOOP-9054:
---------------------------------------
This is to make it easier for others to implement their own
AuthenticationHandler that uses Kerberos in some cases and their own
authentication mechanism (which they have to implement themselves; I'll be
making an abstract class) in other cases (i.e. browser access). So, I don't
think I'd call it chain-able, but maybe "mixed".
> Add AuthenticationHandler that uses Kerberos but allows for an alternate form
> of authentication for browsers

> It would be useful for some Oozie users if, when using Kerberos, that browser
> access to the oozie web UI could be authenticated in a different way (w/o
> Kerberos). This may be useful for other projects using Hadoop-Auth, so this
> feature is to add a new AuthenticationHandler that uses Kerberos by default,
> unless a browser (user-agents are configurable) is used, in which case some
> other form of authentication can be used.
