-------------------------------------------
Summary: Add kerberos authentication to REST end point
Key: SENTRY-1224
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SENTRY-1224
Project: Sentry
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: http
Affects Versions: 1.8.0
Reporter: Sravya Tirukkovalur
Assignee: Sravya Tirukkovalur
SENTRY-1081 is tracking adding a rest api to Sentry. Along with it, we should
also add strong authentication support to the REST end point.
I took a brief look at other Hadoop components and seems like using the Hadoop
Auth filter would be the best approach, as it is standardized and used in other
downstream components. Hadoop Auth is a Java library consisting of a client and
a server components to enable Kerberos SPNEGO authentication for HTTP.

details.
