----------------------------------
Summary: Falcon REST API trusted proxy support
Key: FALCON-1027
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FALCON-1027
Project: Falcon
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 0.6
Reporter: kenneth ho
Fix For: 0.6
In the Dal timeframe Knox would like to be able to expose the Falcon REST API
via the gateway. In order for that to work securely it must be possible to
setup a trust relationship between Knox and Falcon. This is commonly done in
other Hadoop ecosystem components using a combination of Kerberos/SPNego and a
doas URL query parameter. This provides a mechanism for Falcon to strongly
authenticate Knox as a trusted proxy, ensuring that it can trust the identity
assertions made via the doas query parameter. The links below provide some
information describing how this is done for core Hadoop. Also note that most
components utilize Hadoop core's reusable hadoop-auth module to implement this
functionality.
