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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
