----------------------------------------
Summary: Web authentication documentation is contradicting
Key: HADOOP-12879
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12879
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 3.0.0
Reporter: Wei-Chiu Chuang
Hi, I noticed recently folks are really focusing on documentation. (Kudos to
+[~ajisakaa], +[~brahmareddy], +[~iwasakims], +[~daisuke.kobayashi], +[~jzhuge]
and more).
I've been following Hadoop documentation to set up web UI authentication, but
it seems to be contradicting between docs, for example, for web UI Kerberos
keytab settings:
* in _Hadoop in Secure Mode_ (SecureMode.md), HDFS daemons have distinct web UI
authentication configs, for example, for name node that's
{{dfs.web.authentication.kerberos.keytab}},
* but in _Authentication for Hadoop HTTP web-consoles_ (HttpAuthentication.md),
it mentions a Hadoop-wide config:
{{hadoop.http.authentication.kerberos.keytab}};
* finally, in _Hadoop Auth, Java HTTP SPNEGO - Server Side
Configuration_(Configuration.md), it says{{\[PREFIX.\]kerberos.principal}}
should be used.
They all seem to mean one thing, but different configuration names. So it's a
bit of confusing, or even contradicting to each other. Can we improve it?
