Ruslan Dautkhanov commented on THRIFT-889:
------------------------------------------
My understanding is that Facebook's Thrift library is a fork of Apache Thrift?
And it has Kerberos support.
Would it be possible to merge back Kerberos support from
https://github.com/facebook/fbthrift ?
Both are Apache-license based open-source products..
> Add SPNEGO support to Thrift HTTP transport

> [SPNEGO|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPNEGO] is the standard mechanism for
> Kerberos authentication over HTTP.
> Thrift should give users the option of using a Thrift HTTP client or server
> that is capable of authentication using SPNEGO/Kerberos. This will be useful
> for Hadoop which has chosen Kerberos as its standard authentication protocol,
> as well as people who need to use Kerberos authentication with Thrift based
> services running in servlet containers like Tomcat.
