-----------------------------------
Summary: Support non-SPNEGO authentication methods in REST java
client library
Key: HBASE-28501
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-28501
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: REST
Reporter: Istvan Toth
The current java client only supports the SPENGO authentication method.
This does not support the case when an application proxy like Apache Knox
performs AAA conversion from BASIC/DIGEST to kerberos authentication.
Add support for BASIC username/password auth the client.
Generally, the authentication code in the client looks quite backwards, it
seems that most of the kerberos / auth cookie code duplicates HttpClient
functionality. AFAICT setting HttpClient up (or letting user set it up) , and
letting it handle authentication by itself would be a better and more generic
solution.
