> Affects Versions: 0.2.0
> Reporter: Kevin Minder

> Fix For: 0.4.0

>
> From BUG-4300
> Currently the hadoop.auth cookie is not being used so each request results in
> a challenge for user credentials and then an authenticates (e.g. via LDAP).
> This is a potential performance issue. In addition the hadoop.auth cookie is
> being returned by the downstream services. We should determine if the gateway
> should always manufacture the cookie and send it to the downstream services
> instead of using the current pseudo auth mechanism.
