Larry McCay updated KNOX-1740:
------------------------------
Description:
There are token exchange scenarios where an application may want to acquire a
KnoxToken on behalf of a user authenticated by the application. We need to
implement a version of the Hadoop Trusted Proxy/Impersonation pattern for Knox
at the topology level.
This includes:
* Principal assertion method (possibilities: doAs query param, path segment
within an API, HTTP header)
* Config within topology for trusted principals, groups that they are allowed
to impersonate, users that they are allowed to impersonate, ip address from
which requests are expected
* Make part of the identity assertion provider since this is the provider that
determines which identity to assert to the down stream service
* Config will need to be qualified by service due to the multiple services per
topology
Example to indicate which type of impersonation mechanism to use for a given
service/s:
{code:java}
<param>
<name>path.segment.impersonated.principal</name>
<value>KNOXTOKEN;credentials</value>
</param>
<param>
<name>header.impersonated.principal</name>
<value>*;SM_USER</value>
</param>
<param>
<name>query.param.impersonated.principal</name>
<value>WEBHDFS,HIVE;doas</value>
</param>
{code}
Example to indicate trusted service principals, hosts, groups:
{code}
{code:java}
<param>
<name>knox.proxyuser.hive.hosts</name>
<value>10.222.0.0/16,10.113.221.221</value>
</param>
<param>
<name>knox.proxyuser.hive.users</name>
<value>user1,user2</value>
</param>
<param>
<name>knox.proxyuser.hive.groups</name>
<value>users</value>
</param>
{code}
