-----------------------------------
@zhiyong, why you want to do that? If SSL authentication is not needed, one can
use HFTP instead of HSFTP.

> It is easy to manage user accounts using LDAP. by adding support for LDAP,
> proxy can do IP authorization in a headless fashion.
> when a user send a request, proxy extract IP address and request PathInfo
> from the request. then it searches the LDAP server to get the allowed HDFS
> root paths given the IP address. Proxy will match the user request PathInfo
> with the allowed HDFS root path, return 403 if it could not find a match.
