Robert Kanter commented on HADOOP-10307:
----------------------------------------
This sounds similar to the {{AltKerberosAuthenticationHandler}} added in
HADOOP-9054. The {{AltKerberosAuthenticationHandler}} uses Kerberos or _some
other AuthenticationHandler_ based on the user agent. For example, you can
have all CLI access use Kerberos (by falling back to the
{{KerberosAuthenticationHandler}} and all browsers use some custom
authentication (by subclassing {{AltKerberosAuthenticationHandler}} to
implement the custom authentication handler). You could have a chain of these
authentication handlers to do more than two. Would this sufficient for your
needs?
