> It should be possible to externalize the secret used to sign the hadoop-auth
> cookies.
> In the case of WebHDFS the shared secret used by NN and DNs could be used. In
> the case of Oozie HA, the secret could be stored in Oozie HA control data in
> ZooKeeper.
> In addition, it is desirable for the secret to change periodically, this
> means that the AuthenticationService should remember a previous secret for
> the max duration of hadoop-auth cookie.
