Hi larry,

Thanks for the quick answer and great to know that the RC is coming out soon. 
It will be great to have the pointers to the documentation when this will be 
available.

We are building our development cluster that will be Kerberized and want to 
allow authentication for some of the standard Hadoop Web Services plus a series 
of custom REST API we are going to develop. The final environment where the 
production environment would be built is currently using SPNEGO for similar 
cases. We were thinking to delegate to Knox the authentication phase to avoid 
re-implementing on any of the services.   

Regards

- Stefano
