John Vines resolved ACCUMULO-1129.
----------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> Make it easier for users to construct and use a security token
> --------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ACCUMULO-1129
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1129
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: master, tserver
> Reporter: Christopher Tubbs
> Assignee: John Vines
> Fix For: 1.5.0
>
>
> In comments on ACCUMULO-1041, we discussed options for simplifying the API
> for "logging in" or, more appropriately, getting tokens to create a Connector
> with.
> The main idea is:
> # add "Connector getConnector(String p, Props)" AND "SecurityToken
> getSecurityToken(Props)" to Instance
> # would be nice to have a way to automatically get possible prop keys
> The idea of properties here is to provide an interface for passing any set of
> credentials to an authentication system to either get a connector directly
> (with the token being constructed internally), or to get a (potentially)
> re-usable token. This is especially important for components like the proxy,
> for which we'd rather not implement every possible security token type, nor
> do we want to require every possible authentication service be written to
> support every language that the proxy supports.
