Benoy Antony commented on HADOOP-9479:
--------------------------------------
The SaslClient and Sasl server implementations accept parameters including
Callbackhandlers. These parameters could be independent of Hadoop or the Sasl
Implementation. The custom layer allows the user to specify these parameters.
I was studying the related SASL jiras. With those changes, the mechanism of
plugging in AuthenticationMethods is going to change. I'll contribute to those
jiras.
> Ability to plugin custom authentication mechanisms based on Jaas and Sasl
