> Currently we use a custom login module in UnixUserGroupInformation for acquiring user-credentials (via config or exec'ing 'whoami'). We should switch to using standard JAAS components such as LoginContext and possibly implement a custom UnixLoginContext for our current requirements. In future we can use this for Kerberos etc.
