Benoy Antony updated HADOOP-10307:
----------------------------------
Attachment: HADOOP-10307.patch
The requirement is implemented as below:
# Modify AuthenticationFilter so that it accepts multiple
_AuthenticationHandler_ via _type_ as a comma separated list.
# First _AuthenticationHandler_ in the list is set as the default
# To authenticate a user, AuthenticationFilter looks for _authtype_ url
parameter.
If parameter is present, corresponding _AuthenticationHandler_ is looked up by
matching _authtype_ with _AuthenticationHandler_'s type value. Authentication
is attempted using the matched _AuthenticationHandler_
If the _authtype_ parameter is not present, default Authentication is used.
I believe , the behavior is backward compatible.
_Test AuthenticationFilter_ is modified to include unit tests for multiple
mechanisms.
This is tested in our clusters.
> Support multiple Authentication mechanisms for HTTP
