> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: REST
> Reporter: Istvan Toth
> Assignee: Istvan Toth
> Priority: Major
> Labels: pull-request-available

>
> 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.
> -Also add support for specifying a prefix for the URL path.-
