Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE commented on HADOOP-3854:
------------------------------------------------
Indeed authentication needs more thought: for example, we should provide some
ways for a user-defined authentication filter to propagate user information to
hadoop. Then, the user information can be used for permission checking. We
are currently using a pre-defined web account (see dfs.web.ugi in conf) for all
web accesses to the file system.
I think we should commit this issue first and then work on authentication in a
separated jira.
> org.apache.hadoop.http.HttpServer should support user configurable filter

> individual site administrators could possibly configure filters for their web
> site.
