Daryn Sharp commented on HADOOP-10322: -------------------------------------- Yes, Allen, the main purpose of this patch is to support multiple keytab logins for multi-interface support. I think it might be better to add this to common's {{SecurityUtil}} so we can add multi-interface support to other parts of hadoop. For simplicity, I'd suggest a single method that takes a path and pattern, then returns all the matching principals. > Add ability to read principal names from a keytab > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-10322 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10322 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: security > Affects Versions: 2.2.0 > Reporter: Benoy Antony > Assignee: Benoy Antony > Attachments: HADOOP-10322.patch, HADOOP-10322.patch, > HADOOP-10322.patch, HADOOP-10322.patch, HADOOP-10322.patch, > HADOOP-10322.patch, HADOOP-10322.patch, HADOOP-10322.patch, > HADOOP-10322.patch, HADOOP-10322.patch, javadoc-warnings.txt > > > It will be useful to have an ability to enumerate the principals stored in a > keytab. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
