> Today if a user is not authenticated via REST API then there is no way to
> provide a user name for executing queries. It will by default be executed as
> "anonymous" user. This doesn't work when impersonation without authentication
> is enabled on Drill server side, since anonymous user doesn't exist the query
> will fail. We need a way to provide a user name when impersonation is enabled
> on Drill side and query is executed from REST API.
> _Implementation details:_
> When only impersonation is enabled form-based authentication will be used.
> On Web UI user will be prompted to enter only login, then session for that
> user will be created, user will be treated as admin. Form-based
> authentication will cache user information, so user won't need to set
> username each time he / she wants to execute the query. Log in / out options
> will be also available. Screenshot of login page is attached.
