-----------------------------------------------------------------

My apologies, poorly worded question. Basically was asking where the 
user/client identity in the session will come from - 1-way SSL (KAFKA-1690) 
doesn't authenticate the client.  I think that KAFKA-1686 will solve it - 
Kerberos support will allow authenticating as a specific user, and storing the 
user identity in a session for later authorization.

> 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.
