Matteo Merli commented on BOOKKEEPER-901:
-----------------------------------------
[~arunmk] In our BookKeeper internal branch at Yahoo we've been using
authentication for a while now. [~ikelly] did the work to add a generic
framework on which is possible to plug any auth implementation. For example at
Yahoo we use some certificate based method.
The idea would be to later add some standard auth method in the BK itself and
leave the possibility to easily add integrate with other auth mechanisms
without the need to change BK code.
I'll submit a pull-request with the current patch.
