> In the Dal timeframe Knox would like to be able to expose the Falcon REST API
> via the gateway. In order for that to work securely it must be possible to
> setup a trust relationship between Knox and Falcon. This is commonly done in
> other Hadoop ecosystem components using a combination of Kerberos/SPNego and
> a doas URL query parameter. This provides a mechanism for Falcon to strongly
> authenticate Knox as a trusted proxy, ensuring that it can trust the identity
> assertions made via the doas query parameter. The links below provide some
> information describing how this is done for core Hadoop. Also note that most
> components utilize Hadoop core's reusable hadoop-auth module to implement
> this functionality.
