> In order for Falcon REST API to work securely via the Knox gateway 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.
