Alejandro Abdelnur commented on HADOOP-7119: -------------------------------------------- Doing a audit/review of Alfredo sounds good (I didn't know Hadoop was doing audit/reviews on new dependencies, I guess it is just because is a security related component). The thing I don't get is why somebody outside of the community has to audit/review it? Shouldn't be the other way around? Said this, how do we get this audit/review started? It should be that difficult as Alfredo is quite simple and small (~1000 lines of code total without counting javadocs & testcases). Some useful background info: Alfredo was developed because I couldn't find an alternative already available. The closest thing I've found is the SourceForge SPNEGO project but it is LGPL (and I don't think they have source code avail). As I've mentioned before, the reasons for Alfredo to be a separate project and not part of the Hadoop patch were that other Hadoop related projects could start using it today without having to wait for a Hadoop release. Plus, it has applicability outside of Hadoop projects. > add Kerberos HTTP SPNEGO authentication support to Hadoop JT/NN/DN/TT > web-consoles > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-7119 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7119 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: security > Affects Versions: 0.23.0 > Environment: all > Reporter: Alejandro Abdelnur > Assignee: Alejandro Abdelnur > Attachments: ha-common-01.patch, ha-common-02.patch, ha-commons.patch > > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
