> SOLR-7468 added support for kerberos authentication via the hadoop
> authentication filter. Hadoop also has support for an authentication filter
> that supports delegation tokens, which allow authenticated users the ability
> to grab/renew/delete a token that can be used to bypass the normal
> authentication path for a time. This is useful in a variety of use cases:
> 1) distributed clients (e.g. MapReduce) where each client may not have access
> to the user's kerberos credentials. Instead, the job runner can grab a
> delegation token and use that during task execution.
> 2) If the load on the kerberos server is too high, delegation tokens can
> avoid hitting the kerberos server after the first request
> 3) If requests/permissions need to be delegated to another user: the more
> privileged user can request a delegation token that can be passed to the less
> privileged user.

> I made the following comment which I need to investigate further, since I
> don't know if anything changed in this area:
> {quote}3) I'm a little concerned with the "NoContext" code in KerberosPlugin
> moving forward (I understand this is more a generic auth question than
> kerberos specific). For example, in the latest version of the filter we are
> using at Cloudera, we play around with the ServletContext in order to pass
> information around
> (https://github.com/cloudera/lucene-solr/blob/cdh5-4.10.3_5.4.2/solr/core/src/java/org/apache/solr/servlet/SolrHadoopAuthenticationFilter.java#L106).
> Is there any way we can get the actual ServletContext in a plugin?{quote}
