Jimmy Xiang commented on HBASE-9866: ------------------------------------ Why do we need this? REST server does support proxy users. You should use -u to specify the user, right? curl -i --negotiate -u <USER>/DOMAIN http://<HOST>:<PORT>/version/cluster > Support the mode where REST server authorizes proxy users > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-9866 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-9866 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Devaraj Das > Assignee: Devaraj Das > Fix For: 0.96.1 > > Attachments: 9866-1.txt > > > In one use case, someone was trying to authorize with the REST server as a > proxy user.
