> Key: HADOOP-6299
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6299
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: security
> Reporter: Arun C Murthy
> Assignee: Owen O'Malley
> Fix For: 0.22.0
>
> Attachments: UserGroupInformation.java
>
>
> Currently we use a custom login module in UnixUserGroupInformation for
> acquiring user-credentials (via config or exec'ing 'whoami'). We should
> switch to using standard JAAS components such as LoginContext and possibly
> implement a custom UnixLoginContext for our current requirements. In future
> we can use this for Kerberos etc.
