             Summary: Utilize hadoop.auth cookie to prevent re-authentication for every request
                 Key: KNOX-21
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KNOX-21
             Project: Apache Knox
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Server
            Reporter: Kevin Minder


>From BUG-4300
Currently the hadoop.auth cookie is not being used so each request results in a challenge for user credentials and then an authenticates (e.g. via LDAP). This is a potential performance issue. In addition the hadoop.auth cookie is being returned by the downstream services. We should determine if the gateway should always manufacture the cookie and send it to the downstream services instead of using the current pseudo auth mechanism.
