Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  This problem only manifests itself when the Oozie client is
  configured to use kerberos authentication.
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  When the Oozie client is configured to use kerberos
  authentication. The java layer produces an exception stack and
  an HTTP error even if https is specified and the correct port
  for the connection.
  ****************************************************************
  RECOMMENDATION:
  If kerberos authentication is in use for the Oozie client the
  patch will be required.
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• n the problem case the java layer needs to use the
  AuthOozieClient interface in preference to the OozieClient
  interface. This change is programmed by setting the environment
  variable OOZ_AUTHM to the string -authmode. If not set the code
  behaves as previously.
  

Temporary fix
