Jimmy Xiang commented on HBASE-9866:
------------------------------------
I saw that. It is something like user A is allowed to do something on behalf of
user B, now let user C to do it on behalf of user B instead, if allowed. If A
== C and they share the same configuration, it may be fine. Now, A could be
different from C. Even they are the same, the configuration could be different
since one is the REST server (i,e, HBase client side), the other is on the
HBase server (master/rs) side.
> Support the mode where REST server authorizes proxy users

> In one use case, someone was trying to authorize with the REST server as a
> proxy user. That mode is not supported today.
> The curl request would be something like (assuming SPNEGO auth) -
> {noformat}
> curl -i --negotiate -u : http://<HOST>:<PORT>/version/cluster?doas=<USER>
> {noformat}
