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. > explore exposing accumulo token in proxy > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: ACCUMULO-996 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-996 > Project: Accumulo > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: proxy > Reporter: Keith Turner > Assignee: Eric Newton > Fix For: 1.5.0 > > > with the new security related changes for 1.5, do the new authentication > mechanism need to be exposed in the proxy? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
