Alejandro Abdelnur commented on HADOOP-7119:
--------------------------------------------
@Mahadev, to make a module inside hadoop-common, we'll have to make
hadoop-common a POM module and have a sub-module for all the stuff it is
currently there (Java, scripts, docs, etc). In maven, an aggregator module (a
POM module) does not produce JARs.
It is possible, and it would make sense, but I'd see that as an incremental
refactoring later on.

> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: security
> Affects Versions: 0.23.0
> Environment: all
> Reporter: Alejandro Abdelnur
> Assignee: Alejandro Abdelnur
> Attachments: HADOOP-7119v3.patch, HADOOP-7119v4-amendment.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.
