This is really odd to me. I have 1.3 (Compiled by MapR) running on my
cluster right now.  I added libjpam.so to my java.library.path, and I have
ldap configured on the nodes in pam.  When I hit the Web UI (via HTTPS,
HTTP is disabled) I get prompt for user name and the authentication goes
against the pam on the system, allowing me in.  Only the user running the
drill bits has "admin" functions in Drill, other users only see a subset of
tabs (Query, Profiles, Metrics) (the Drillbit user has Query, profiles,
storage, metrics, and threads).

This is also true with the RestAPI.  I have to authenticate to use it at
this point.   I just do forms authentication using the python requests
module. (I feel like it should accept basic auth over SSL for API good
ness, but my hack works)

Thus, I feel like it's been secured fairly well (SSL, Authentication, Users
etc).  So I do not understand why DRILL-3201 says 1.5, and while it's
stated that Web Authentication is not available yet...
