Jerry He commented on HBASE-12168:
----------------------------------
Hi, [~jxiang]
Yes.
We can improve the sections, and/or add a section to mention SPNEGO-based
authentication for client.
I am trying to set it up. After that, I probably will have more input.
> Document Rest gateway SPNEGO-based authentication for client
> ------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: HBASE-12168
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12168
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: documentation, REST, security
> Reporter: Jerry He
> Fix For: 0.98.8, 0.99.1
>
>
> After HBASE-5050, we seem to support SPNEGO-based authentication from client
> on Rest gateway. But I had a tough time finding the info.
> The support is not mentioned in Security book. In the security book, we still
> have:
> bq. It should be possible for clients to authenticate with the HBase cluster
> through the REST gateway in a pass-through manner via SPEGNO HTTP
> authentication. This is future work.
> The release note in HBASE-5050 seems to be obsolete as well. e.g.
> hbase.rest.kerberos.spnego.principal seems to be obsolete.
