Gwen Shapira reassigned KAFKA-1683: ----------------------------------- Assignee: Gwen Shapira > Implement a "session" concept in the socket server > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-1683 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1683 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: security > Affects Versions: 0.9.0 > Reporter: Jay Kreps > Assignee: Gwen Shapira > > To implement authentication we need a way to keep track of some things > between requests. The initial use for this would be remembering the > authenticated user/principle info, but likely more uses would come up (for > example we will also need to remember whether and which encryption or > integrity measures are in place on the socket so we can wrap and unwrap > writes and reads). > I was thinking we could just add a Session object that might have a user > field. The session object would need to get added to RequestChannel.Request > so it is passed down to the API layer with each request. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
