Gwen Shapira commented on KAFKA-1683:
-------------------------------------

[~parth.brahmbhatt] and [~harsha_ch]:

Looking at 
{code}    
public Principal peerPrincipal() throws IOException {
        try {
            return sslEngine.getSession().getPeerPrincipal();
        } catch (SSLPeerUnverifiedException se) {
            throw new IOException(String.format("Unable to retrieve 
getPeerPrincipal due to %s", se));
        }
    }
{code}

Does it make sense to return ANONYMOUS in this case, and treat unauthenticated 
SSL connections same as PLAINTEXT?

> To implement authentication we need a way to keep track of some things 
> between requests. The initial use for this would be remembering the 
> authenticated user/principle info, but likely more uses would come up (for 
> example we will also need to remember whether and which encryption or 
> integrity measures are in place on the socket so we can wrap and unwrap 
> writes and reads).
> I was thinking we could just add a Session object that might have a user 
> field. The session object would need to get added to RequestChannel.Request 
> so it is passed down to the API layer with each request.
