Jimmy Xiang commented on HBASE-9866:
------------------------------------

Why do we need this?  REST server does support proxy users. You should use -u to specify the user, right?

curl -i --negotiate -u <USER>/DOMAIN http://<HOST>:<PORT>/version/cluster

> Support the mode where REST server authorizes proxy users

> In one use case, someone was trying to authorize with the REST server as a proxy user. That mode is not supported today. 
> The curl request would be something like (assuming SPNEGO auth) - 
> {noformat}
> curl -i --negotiate -u : http://<HOST>:<PORT>/version/cluster?doas=<USER>
> {noformat}
