Keith Turner commented on ACCUMULO-996:
---------------------------------------

What do people think about doing the following in the proxy instead of always 
passing user pass?

{code}

   struct ProxyToken {
      long token;
   }
   

   ProxyToken authenticateUserPass(UserPass up);
   ProxyToken authenticateKerberose(KerberoseToken kt);

    i32 addConstraint (1:ProxyToken token, 2:string tableName, 3:string 
constraintClassName)

{code}


This would allow the proxy to use different authetication mechanisms.  The 
token woudl be transient, generated using secure random, and time out when 
inactive.

> with the new security related changes for 1.5, do the new authentication
