             Summary: Add AuthenticationHandler that uses Kerberos but allows for an alternate form of authentication for browsers
                 Key: HADOOP-9054
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9054
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: security
            Reporter: Robert Kanter
            Assignee: Robert Kanter
             Fix For: 2.0.3-alpha


It would be useful for some Oozie users if, when using Kerberos, that browser access to the oozie web UI could be authenticated in a different way (w/o Kerberos).  This may be useful for other projects using Hadoop-Auth, so this feature is to add a new AuthenticationHandler that uses Kerberos by default, unless a browser (user-agents are configurable) is used, in which case some other form of authentication can be used.
