Kevin Minder created HADOOP-11699: ------------------------------------- Summary: _HOST not consistently resolving to lowercase fully qualified hostname Key: HADOOP-11699 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11699 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Bug Components: security Affects Versions: 2.6.0 Reporter: Kevin Minder
The _HOST marker used for Kerberos principals in various configuration files does not always return lowercase fully qualified hostnames. For example this setting in hdfs-site.xml {code} <property> <name>dfs.namenode.kerberos.principal</name> <value>hdfs/_h...@yourrealm.com</value> </property> {code} In particular, this is impeding our work to have Hadoop work with equivalent security on Windows as on Linux. In the windows env in which I'm having the issue, I was able to get a fully qualified host name using this version of method getLocalHostName() in . hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/security/SecurityUtil.java {code:java} public static String getLocalHostName() throws UnknownHostException { String hostname = InetAddress.getLocalHost().getCanonicalHostName(); if ( !hostname.contains( "." ) ) { final String os = System.getProperties().getProperty( "os.name", "?" ).toLowerCase(); if ( os.startsWith( "windows" ) ) { String domain = System.getenv( "USERDNSDOMAIN" ); if ( domain != null ) { hostname += "." + domain.trim(); } } } return hostname == null ? "localhost" : hostname.toLowerCase(); } {code} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
