Summary: Upgrade Hadoop MiniKDC with Kerby
Key: HADOOP-12911
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12911
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: test
Reporter: Jiajia Li
Assignee: Jiajia Li
As discussed in the mailing list, we’d like to introduce Apache Kerby into
Hadoop. Initially it’s good to start with upgrading Hadoop MiniKDC with Kerby
offerings. Apache Kerby (https://github.com/apache/directory-kerby), as an
Apache Directory sub project, is a Java Kerberos binding. It provides a
SimpleKDC server that borrowed ideas from MiniKDC and implemented all the
facilities existing in MiniKDC. Currently MiniKDC depends on the old Kerberos
implementation in Directory Server project, but the implementation is stopped
being maintained. Directory community has a plan to replace the implementation
using Kerby. MiniKDC can use Kerby SimpleKDC directly to avoid depending on the
full of Directory project. Kerby also provides nice identity backends such as
the lightweight memory based one and the very simple json one for easy
development and test environments.
