----------------------------------

             Summary: Make sure all end point URL is covered by the same 
AuthenticationFilter
                 Key: HADOOP-16314
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-16314
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Eric Yang


In the enclosed spreadsheet, it shows the list of web applications deployed by 
Hadoop, and filters applied to each entry point.

Hadoop web protocol impersonation has been inconsistent.  Most of entry point 
do not support ?doAs parameter.  This creates problem for secure gateway like 
Knox to proxy Hadoop web interface on behave of the end user.  When the 
receiving end does not check for ?doAs flag, web interface would be accessed 
using proxy user credential.  This can lead to all kind of security holes using 
path traversal to exploit Hadoop. 

In HADOOP-16287, ProxyUserAuthenticationFilter is proposed as solution to solve 
the web impersonation problem.  This task is to track changes required in 
Hadoop code base to apply authentication filter globally for each of the web 
service port.
