Eric Yang commented on HADOOP-16214:
------------------------------------

[~daryn] {quote}By design, the regexp previously rejected those 2 invalid use 
cases.  It's not a regression.  How is it relevant to this jira?{quote}

The bad data input matches your proposed regex and also previous faulty regex.  
It does not do additional check for @ in components part of the string after 
regex matches.  The interpretation of how auth_to_local works in Hadoop is 
flawed, and this was hidden by exposing only $0..$2 as regex group index, but 
it is still vulnerable to program try to manipulate bad input strings.  The 
fault regex let $2=="" slip through, also a/@[email protected] end up with: 
[email protected].

MIT auth_to_local is non-bias toward parsing UPN or SPN.  MIT Kerberos focus on 
knowing number of components in the principal, and which group index to replace 
aname with lname. 

{quote}The proposed patch seems to meet the needs of Issac and should have no 
objectionable semantic parsing changes?{quote}

The parsing by JDK's own KerberosPrincipal give confidence that the input is 
accurate.  The parser changed to MIT Kerberos technique to map aname to lname.  
Fortunately, existing Hadoop auth_to_local rules does not need to change.

> 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).
