Graham Simpson commented on HADOOP-11683: ----------------------------------------- This is a darn useful feature for folks using Centrify or such products to integrate correctly with Active Directory. I'd argue this is a critical issue as correct mapping is essential to hadoop operation. You can use auth_to_local to workaround but of course this requires namenode restart which in a large enterprise cluster is not really an option. > Need a plugin API to translate long principal names to local OS user names > arbitrarily > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-11683 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11683 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: security > Affects Versions: 2.6.0 > Reporter: Sunny Cheung > Assignee: roger mak > Attachments: HADOOP-11683.001.patch, HADOOP-11683.002.patch, > HADOOP-11683.003.patch > > > We need a plugin API to translate long principal names (e.g. > john....@example.com) to local OS user names (e.g. user123456) arbitrarily. > For some organizations the name translation is straightforward (e.g. > john....@example.com to john_doe), and the hadoop.security.auth_to_local > configurable mapping is sufficient to resolve this (see HADOOP-6526). > However, in some other cases the name translation is arbitrary and cannot be > generalized by a set of translation rules easily. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: common-issues-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: common-issues-h...@hadoop.apache.org
