> There is a need for adding JWT support in the HadoopAuth security provider s follows: if the incoming request has a valid JWT token (as a {{bearer}} token) extracted from the {{Authorization}} header the request is then processed on behalf of the user represented by the JWT token (using the existing JWT federation provider). If there is no _valid_ JWT token, the {{HadoopAuth}} authentication filter should do its job as it does today.
> The ability to implement a general composite authentication provider is discussed in KNOX-2411, but we agreed that such a provider would need more planning and maybe a KIP so that this feature should be targeted in a separate JIRA.
