• Define client side authentication modules management API or mechanisms (might be the same with server side);
• Define mechanism and API to deploy, load and register client side authentication modules;
• Define and implement facilities for Hadoop client to authenticate to Authentication Service, to request identity token to Identity Token Service, to request access token to Access Token Service, and finally to access Hadoop services with access token.
