Kyuubi Authentication Mechanism
=================================

In a secure cluster, services should be able to identify and authenticate
callers. As the fact that the user claims does not necessarily mean this
is true.

The authentication process of kyuubi is used to verify the user identity
that a client used to talk to the kyuubi server. Once done, a trusted
connection will be set up between the client and server if successful;
otherwise, rejected.

.. note:: This only authenticate whether a user or client can connect
   with Kyuubi server or not using the provided identity.
   For other secured services that this user wants to interact with, he/she
   also needs to pass the authentication process of each service, for instance,
   Hive Metastore, YARN, HDFS.

The related configurations can be found at `Authentication Configurations`_
