Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-9054:
------------------------------------------
Maybe this is dumb question but... why does Apache Hadoop need to provide this
code, given that this is already pluggable allowing users to provide their own
bits now? In other words, if they already have this need to provide two
(essentially) incompatible mechanisms what prevents them?
> 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.
