Jerry He commented on HBASE-12168:
----------------------------------
Attached a patch for the documentation update, also a screen capture of what is
generated in the book.
The documentation update mentions the support for custom Authentication
handlers in Rest gateway.
I had a custom Authentication handler and it was tested to work well.
> Document Rest gateway SPNEGO-based authentication for client

> After HBASE-5050, we seem to support SPNEGO-based authentication from client
> on Rest gateway. But I had a tough time finding the info.
> The support is not mentioned in Security book. In the security book, we still
> have:
> bq. It should be possible for clients to authenticate with the HBase cluster
> through the REST gateway in a pass-through manner via SPEGNO HTTP
> authentication. This is future work.
> The release note in HBASE-5050 seems to be obsolete as well. e.g.
> hbase.rest.kerberos.spnego.principal seems to be obsolete.
