Andreas Neumann commented on HADOOP-7119:
-----------------------------------------
I agree that this would be very useful.
The Oozie team at Yahoo! is currently working on a patch to support
Kerberos/SPNEGO (and an extensible framework to also allow other authentication
methods).
This code can be contributed to Hadoop so that all dependent projects can make
use of it.
Cheers -Andreas.

>
> Currently the JT/NN/DN/TT web-consoles don't support any form of
> authentication.
> Hadoop RPC API already supports Kerberos authentication.
> Kerberos enables single sign-on.
> Popular browsers (Firefox and Internet Explorer) have support for Kerberos
> HTTP SPNEGO.
> Adding support for Kerberos HTTP SPNEGO to Hadoop web consoles would provide
> a unified authentication mechanism and single sign-on for Hadoop web UI and
> Hadoop RPC.
