             Summary: Support password-based convenience logins for Kerberos-authenticated clients
                 Key: CALCITE-1385
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-1385
             Project: Calcite
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: avatica
            Reporter: Josh Elser
            Assignee: Josh Elser
             Fix For: avatica-1.9.0


Had a request for the automatic Kerberos login process to also support password-based authentication (instead of just keytab).

This would require some extra logic in KerberosConnection to do the Jaas Configuration with the provided password, but not attempt to prompt the user for it (as it might be a headless client, like some GUI application).

One problem is that GUI apps will likely try to use pass this value in via the "password" key in some properties (in addition to the "user" field). Will actually have to try to test this out to make sure it works as intended.
