Gregory Chanan commented on SOLR-9200:
--------------------------------------
{quote}Looks like there is some adverse interaction between
TestSolrCloudWithDelegationTokens and TestSolrCloudWithKerberosAlt when they
run in the same jvm; in the same jvm TestSolrCloudWithKerberosAlt fails when
run second. I beasted the test individually and it didn't fail in 100
runs.{quote}
Figured this out -- in Krb5HttpClientBuilder the JaasConfiguration is set up
statically with baseConfig whatever is the current config, but the tests like
TestSolrCloudWithKerberosAlt require that the baseConfig is what they set it to
at the beginning of test;

> SOLR-7468 added support for kerberos authentication via the hadoop
> authentication filter. Hadoop also has support for an authentication filter
> that supports delegation tokens, which allow authenticated users the ability
> to grab/renew/delete a token that can be used to bypass the normal
> authentication path for a time. This is useful in a variety of use cases:
> 1) distributed clients (e.g. MapReduce) where each client may not have access
> to the user's kerberos credentials. Instead, the job runner can grab a
> delegation token and use that during task execution.
> 2) If the load on the kerberos server is too high, delegation tokens can
> avoid hitting the kerberos server after the first request
> 3) If requests/permissions need to be delegated to another user: the more
> privileged user can request a delegation token that can be passed to the less
> privileged user.

> {quote}3) I'm a little concerned with the "NoContext" code in KerberosPlugin
> moving forward (I understand this is more a generic auth question than
> kerberos specific). For example, in the latest version of the filter we are
> using at Cloudera, we play around with the ServletContext in order to pass
> information around
> (https://github.com/cloudera/lucene-solr/blob/cdh5-4.10.3_5.4.2/solr/core/src/java/org/apache/solr/servlet/SolrHadoopAuthenticationFilter.java#L106).
