<title>Configure the Thrift Gateway to Authenticate on Behalf of the Client</title>
<para><xref linkend="security.client.thrift"/> describes how to authenticate a Thrift client
to HBase using a fixed user. As an alternative, you can configure the Thrift gateway to
authenticate to HBase on the client's behalf, and to access HBase using a proxy user. This
was implemented in <link xlink:href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-11349"
>HBASE-11349</link> for Thrift 1, and <link
