----------------------------------

             Summary: Support the mode where REST server authorizes proxy users
                 Key: HBASE-9866
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-9866
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Devaraj Das
            Assignee: Devaraj Das
             Fix For: 0.96.1


In one use case, someone was trying to authorize with the REST server as a proxy user. That mode is not supported today. 
The curl request would be something like (assuming SPNEGO auth) - 
{noformat}
curl -i --negotiate -u : http://<HOST>:<PORT>/version/cluster?doas=<USER>
{noformat}
