Kerberos login support
Closed this issue · 4 comments
There's an auth module for requests that can make this happen. Any chance atlasclient can get support of switching auth to kerberos?

Hi dimon22... it is indeed certainly an interesting/important feature to have for this client. Probably a few modifs in the request method should make it work. However, I'd like to test it in a real env with a kerberized atlas before pushing. So far, I'm mocking all the requests. Would you agree to test it in a real environment? Another way would be to set up a true Hadoop + Kerberized Atlas env when testing... if you have any suggestion about it I'd be interested as well.
@jpoullet2000 I gave it a look, and I think there's even easier way. Potentially requests.Session object allows auth attribute to be set to switch auth globally for all requests done with it.

If we just plug new auth in Session after instantiating Session in constructor of HttpClient, that should be it!

I'll give it a try in kerberized environment.
Sadly, I no longer have kerberized environment in my possession :(
I prepared PR with necessary change for custom Auth support if anyone gets a chance to test.
