Description

Create a Spring authentication filter to encapsulate the various Ambari authentication methods since the Spring filter chain allows for a single authentication filter and Ambari needs to allow for multiple, optional, authentication filters to handle one of (but not limited to) the following authentication methods:

• Basic Auth
• SSO (JWT)
• Kerberos token
