Sriharsha Chintalapani commented on STORM-446:
----------------------------------------------
[~parth.brahmbhatt] As you said saslServer.getAuthorizationID() will get the
initial authID and don't think there is a way to submit other user credentials
once the initial sasl connection setup.
Is it possible to add a single thriftApi that takes in UGI and a operation i.e
uploadTopology ,rebalance etc and on the server side does this as the UGI?

> Storm security adds features of authenticating with kerberos and than uses
> that principal and TGT as way to authorize user operations, topology
> operation. Currently Storm UI user needs to be part of nimbus.admins to get
> details on user submitted topologies. Ideally storm ui needs to take
> authenticated user principal to submit requests to nimbus which will than
> authorize the user rather than storm UI user. This feature will also benefit
> superusers to impersonate other users to submit topologies in a secured way.
