Edward Capriolo commented on HIVE-78:
-------------------------------------
I would like to leverage the 'REALM' has already been done with tomcat. This
would give us the ability to plug into many standard authentication
architectures.
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-4.1-doc/catalina/docs/api/org/apache/catalina/realm/package-tree.html
If we including a jar file in a binary format from tomcat should it be part of
the patch or should we fork some of the tomcat source? We should have not have
to alter the original code we will be using it directly or extending it.
