Christopher Tubbs commented on ACCUMULO-996:
--------------------------------------------

If you make AuthType a string (classname?), instead of an enum, the API doesn't 
have to be extended as new authentication types are made available. I'm not 
sure the challenge option is necessary. I think that the proxy is the real 
client, and should do the authentication challenge/response if it is required 
for that authentication type, and the client of the proxy should just give the 
proxy the options needed to do it, to simplify the proxy API. But, I'm not 
strongly opinionated about this.
