Vinod K V updated HADOOP-6568: ------------------------------ Attachment: HADOOP-6568-20100216.txt Here's a patch that demonstrates the proposal: - {{hadoop.http.administrators-acl}} is a new configuration in core-default.xml. It is the ACL against which a authenticated user will be verified. Authenticated user identity is assumed to be obtainable via {{request.getRemoteUser()}} - All the default servlets are modified in this patch to do the access control checks. - If we agree on this configuration in 'common' itself, other configuration properties can be deprecated in favour of this: {{dfs.permissions.superusergroup}} in HDFS and {{mapred.permissions.supergroup}} in MAPRED. > Authorization for default servlets > ---------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-6568 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6568 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: security > Reporter: Vinod K V > Fix For: 0.22.0 > > Attachments: HADOOP-6568-20100216.txt > > > We have the following default servlets: /logs, /static, /stacks, /logLevel, > /metrics, /conf.
