[jira] [Created] (CALCITE-1173) Basic and Digest authentication

Josh Elser created CALCITE-1173:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Basic and Digest authentication
                 Key: CALCITE-1173
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-1173
             Project: Calcite
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: avatica
            Reporter: Josh Elser
            Assignee: Josh Elser
             Fix For: avatica-1.8.0


Started working on a prototype over the weekend (building on top of the SPNEGO auth work) which supports HTTP [Basic|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication] and [Digest|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digest_access_authentication] authentication.

Basic is the "dirt-simple" approach, but insecure (unless TLS is introduced). Digest is similarly simple (compared to Kerberos, anyways), but doesn't require wire encryption to protect against malicious third-parties.
