Alejandro Abdelnur commented on HADOOP-8830:
--------------------------------------------

servlets or other filters after the AuthenticationFilter should not deal with 
the auth cookie. The current contract is as follows:

* if the request passed the AuthenticationFilter, authentication was successful
* the principal of the authenticated user is available via the 
HttpServletRequest.getAuthType()/getRemoteUser()/getUserPrincipal() methods

if the filter is called twice is because is twice defined in the filter chain, 
it should be once.
                
> org.apache.hadoop.security.authentication.server.AuthenticationFilter might

> AuthenticationFilter.doFilter is called twice (not sure if that is 
> intentional or not).
> The second time it is called the ServletRequest is already authenticated, 
> i.e. httpRequest.getRemoteUser() returns non-null info.
> If the kerberos authentication is triggered a second time it'll return a 
> replay attack exception.
> I solved this by adding a if (httpRequest.getRemoteUser() == null) at the 
> very beginning of doFilter.
> Alternatively one can set an attribute on the request, or figure out why 
> doFilter is called twice.
