>            Reporter: Josh Elser
>            Assignee: Andor Molnar
>            Priority: Major
>             Fix For: HBASE-26553
>
>
> Today, HBase must complete the SASL handshake (saslClient.complete()) prior 
> to turning on any RPC encryption (hbase.rpc.protection=privacy, 
> sasl.QOP=auth-conf).
> This is a problem because we have to transmit the bearer token to the server 
> before we can complete the sasl handshake. This would mean that we would 
> insecurely transmit the bearer token (which is equivalent to any other 
> password) which is a bad smell.
> Ideally, if we can solve this problem for the oauth bearer mechanism, we 
> could also apply it to our delegation token interface for digest-md5 (which, 
> I believe, suffers the same problem).
