  Authentication on CDAP is conditional on cluster configuration. When security.enabled=true in
  cdap-site.xml, every call to the Microservices (HTTP RESTful) API must be authenticated: the client
  first obtains an access token from the CDAP authentication server and then supplies it on every
  request. For CDAP-issued access tokens the authentication scheme must always be Bearer. When
  security.authorization.enabled=true, authenticated calls are additionally authorization-checked
  against CDAP authorization policies, and an authenticated-but-unprivileged caller receives 403.
  An unauthenticated call against a security-enabled cluster receives 401.
