[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=13986649#comment-13986649 ] 

Kihwal Lee commented on HADOOP-10307:
-------------------------------------

It will be nice if it allows to try auth filters in the chain one by one until one succeeds. The default one should be the first one. If the client specified one or more preferred methods, only those would be tried. I haven't looked at the code, but we may need a container auth filter to support trying multiple auth methods.
