[jira] [Commented] (ACCUMULO-996) explore exposing accumulo token in proxy

["Keith Turner (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-996?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13564493#comment-13564493 ] 

Keith Turner commented on ACCUMULO-996:
---------------------------------------

What do people think about doing the following in the proxy instead of always passing user pass?

{code}

   struct ProxyToken {
      long token;
   }
   

   ProxyToken authenticateUserPass(UserPass up);
   ProxyToken authenticateKerberose(KerberoseToken kt);

    i32 addConstraint (1:ProxyToken token, 2:string tableName, 3:string constraintClassName)

{code}


This would allow the proxy to use different authetication mechanisms.  The token woudl be transient, generated using secure random, and time out when inactive.

> with the new security related changes for 1.5, do the new authentication mechanism need to be exposed in the proxy?
