Larry McCay commented on HADOOP-11717:
--------------------------------------
I see curly brace placement is different - though it is a bit mixed in the
existing code base.
I can address that.
[~drankye] - if you see anything else can you let me know - so that we can
maybe avoid another iteration?
Thanks!

> Extend AltKerberosAuthenticationHandler to provide WebSSO flow for UIs.
> The actual authentication is done by some external service that the handler
> will redirect to when there is no hadoop.auth cookie and no JWT token found
> in the incoming request.
> Using JWT provides a number of benefits:
> * It is not tied to any specific authentication mechanism - so buys us many
> SSO integrations
> * It is cryptographically verifiable for determining whether it can be trusted
> * Checking for expiration allows for a limited lifetime and window for
> compromised use
> This will introduce the use of nimbus-jose-jwt library for processing,
> validating and parsing JWT tokens.
