Larry McCay commented on KNOX-979:
----------------------------------
Due to the fact that the UI service definition includes the policy elements and
specifies the Anonymous authentication provider, it will ALWAYS pull in that
provider regardless of what is configured in the topology. Therefore, the
statement about it requiring a separate topology should be unnecessary. In
addition to the "Note:" at the end - well, maybe it should just be reworded...
This also has me thinking about the previous discussion regarding the service
definition having the policies defined and therefore limited to th Anonymous
authentication provider. I assume that was about the API portion of this. If
the API doesn't support the trusted proxy pattern then perhaps we do have to
put that limitation back in. Since it is using
org.apache.hadoop.gateway.dispatch.PassAllHeadersDispatch in the API as well,
the user.name and doas params will not be added anyway. I know that I am
changing my original opinion on this but it seems like it has to be limited to
Anonymous for now and then you will not need a separate topology that
explicitly uses the Anonymous provider. Sorry for not catching that before.
Is the following referring to a limitation in the UI itself or in the Knox
service definition?
{code}
+### Atlas UI ###
+In addition to the Atlas REST API, from this release there is the ability to
access some of the functionality via a web. The initial functionality is very
limited and serves more as a starting point/placeholder. The details are below.
{code}
If the former, then you may not want to put it here as it will require us to
maintain it as the UI functionality emerges to be more complete.
