> Key: HBASE-20886
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20886
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: asyncclient, Client, security
> Reporter: Reid Chan

>
> There're lots of questions about how to connect to kerberized hbase cluster
> through hbase-client api from user-mail and slack channel.
> {{hbase.client.keytab.file}} and {{hbase.client.keytab.principal}} are
> already existed in code base, but they are only used in {{Canary}}.
> This issue is to make use of two configs to support client-side keytab based
> login, after this issue resolved, hbase-client should directly connect to
> kerberized cluster without changing any code as long as
> {{hbase.client.keytab.file}} and {{hbase.client.keytab.principal}} are
> specified.
