Larry McCay commented on YARN-4006:
-----------------------------------
I would say that whether certain deployments decide to use Knox or not for
proxying UIs shouldn't really impact whether custom authentication handlers are
available in ATS. I think that the full pattern of configured authentication
handlers should be present anywhere that the configured values will affect a
given endpoint. In this respect the current implementation within ATS is broken.
My original thoughts about Knox weren't targeting the UIs but instead the
external non-browser clients that could go through Knox for API calls. I don't
think that tricking an AltKerberos impl into treating a useragent as a browser
is a great practice. While it might work for some AltKerberos impls, it could
easily not work for others without additional changes to the API request. Using
something like Knox as an adapter to the kerberos expectations is more or less
guaranteed to work with AltKerberos for non-browser agents.

> When attempting to use The Hadoop Alternate Authentication Classes. They do
> not exactly work with what was built with YARN-1935.
> I went ahead and made the following changes to support using a Custom

> Changes to: TimelineAuthenticationFilterInitializer.class
> {code}
> String authType = filterConfig.get(AuthenticationFilter.AUTH_TYPE);
> LOG.info("AuthType Configured: "+authType);
> if (authType.equals(PseudoAuthenticationHandler.TYPE)) {
