---------------------------------------
Summary: Support Impersonation without authentication for REST API
Key: DRILL-5726
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-5726
Project: Apache Drill
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 1.11.0
Reporter: Arina Ielchiieva
Assignee: Arina Ielchiieva
Fix For: 1.12.0
Today if a user is not authenticated via REST API then there is no way to
provide a user name for executing queries. It will by default be executed as
"anonymous" user. This doesn't work when impersonation without authentication
is enabled on Drill server side, since anonymous user doesn't exist the query
will fail. We need a way to provide a user name when impersonation is enabled
on Drill side and query is executed from REST API.
_Implementation details:_
When only impersonation is enabled form-based authentication will be used.
On Web UI user will be prompted to enter only login, then session for that user
will be created, user will be treated as admin. Form-based authentication will
cache user information, so user won't need to set username each time he / she
wants to execute the query. Log in / out options will be also available.
Screenshot of login page is attached.
