[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-10307) Support multiple Authentication mechanisms for HTTP

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10307?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13885768#comment-13885768 ] 

Robert Kanter commented on HADOOP-10307:
----------------------------------------

This sounds similar to the {{AltKerberosAuthenticationHandler}} added in HADOOP-9054.  The {{AltKerberosAuthenticationHandler}} uses Kerberos or _some other AuthenticationHandler_ based on the user agent.  For example, you can have all CLI access use Kerberos (by falling back to the {{KerberosAuthenticationHandler}} and all browsers use some custom authentication (by subclassing {{AltKerberosAuthenticationHandler}} to implement the custom authentication handler).  You could have a chain of these authentication handlers to do more than two.  Would this sufficient for your needs?

> Currently it is possible to specify a custom Authentication Handler  for HTTP authentication.  
> We have a requirement to support multiple mechanisms  to authenticate HTTP access.
