Github user spmallette commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/pull/583 @krlohnes I think I'm going to retract what I said about using SASL for this case. SASL mechanisms might not suit every use case in which case it might not be the best way to go about implementing the authentication scheme you set out to have. So, I think you're basically on the right path with this PR. I'll review based on that.
