Issac Buenrostro commented on HADOOP-16214:
-------------------------------------------
[~daryn] we have use cases where we encode information in the additional
components of a Kerberos principal, which is allowed by the spec. Today, these
principals cannot be used on Hadoop, which, among other effects, mean that
Hadoop audit logs cannot be attributed to the original principal.
> Kerberos name implementation in Hadoop does not accept principals with more
> than two components

> org.apache.hadoop.security.authentication.util.KerberosName is in charge of
> converting a Kerberos principal to a user name in Hadoop for all of the
> services requiring authentication.
> Although the Kerberos spec
> ([https://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-1.5/krb5-1.5.4/doc/krb5-user/What-is-a-Kerberos-Principal_003f.html])
> allows for an arbitrary number of components in the principal, the Hadoop
> implementation will throw a "Malformed Kerberos name:" error if the principal
> has more than two components (because the regex can only read serviceName and
> hostName).
