> As already widely discussed current UGI related classes needs to be improved in many aspects. This is to improve and make UGI so that it can be: 
>  
> * Pluggable, new authentication method with its login module can be dynamically registered and plugged without having to change the UGI class;
> * Extensible, login modules with their options can be dynamically extended and customized so that can be reusable elsewhere, like in TokenAuth;
>  
> * No Kerberos relevant, remove any Kerberos relevant functionalities out of it to make it simple and suitable for other login mechanisms; 
> * Of appropriate abstraction and API, with improved abstraction and API it’s possible to allow authentication implementations not using JAAS modules;
> * Compatible, should be compatible with previous deployment and authentication methods, so the existing APIs won’t be removed and some of them are just to be deprecated.
