             Summary: Adjust Authorizor Interface to validate auths instead of retrieving a list
                 Key: ACCUMULO-1681
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1681
             Project: Accumulo
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: tserver
            Reporter: John Vines
            Assignee: John Vines
             Fix For: 1.6.0


Currently the Authorizor interface is used to request a set of authorizations which then get checked against the authorizations a user is attempting to use. However, some security systems only support the ability to validate authorizations/permissions/roles and not provide a list. That makes these systems (entirely) incompatible with Accumulo when they don't have to be.

We should switch the behavior of Accumulo to ask the Authorizor (via SecurityOperations) if the auths are valid. The existing getAuths functionality will still use that call and would have potentially limited support, similar to the potentially limited support of any of the set operations.
