> HADOOP-9054 adds AltKerberosAuthenticationHandler which allows non-browsers
> to use Kerberos authentication while allowing browsers to use some
> alternative authentication (to be implemented by the subclass). This is
> particularly useful for users of Oozie who want to use Kerberos for the Oozie
> client but allow access to the web UI using some other means of
> authentication, such as LDAP. To encourage this, we should create an example
> implementation of AltKerberosAuthenticationHandler and a login server example
> to work with it. This example isn't designed to be secure, but to make it
> easier for users to integrate their own authentication systems with Oozie.
> There are two main components:
> (1) ExampleAltAuthenticationHanlder extends the
> AltKerberosAuthenticationHandler: The AltKerberosAuthenticationHandler deals
> with determining if the user-agent is a browser or not and with falling back
> to KerberosAuthenticationHandler, so all the ExampleAltAuthenticationHandler
> has to do is create the AuthenticationToken when it sees that the user has a
> cookie named "oozie.web.login.auth" in their browser (the value of the cookie
> is the username).
> (2) The login server example: This is where the
> ExampleAltAuthenticationHandler will redirect unauthenticated users to. It
> has two implementations, one is a very basic servlet (LoginServlet) that
> provides a form to get the username and password and checks if they are equal
> (e.g. user=foo pass=foo) and writes a cookie named "oozie.web.login.auth"
> with the username if so. The second implementation (LDAPLoginServlet) checks
> the username and password against an LDAP server before writing the cookie.
> The flow of all of this would be the user goes to the Oozie web UI in their
> browser, the ExampleAltAuthenticator determines that they are not
> authenticated so redirects them to the login server example, which
> authenticates the user, writes the cookie, and redirects them back to the web
> UI where the ExampleAltAuthenticationHandler sees from the cookie that they
> should now authenticated. From a non-browser, such as the Oozie client, the
> ExampleAltAuthenticationHandler would fall back to the
> KerberosAuthenticationHandler.
> More detailed information is in the documentation in the patch.
> ExampleAltAuthenticationHandler is in Oozie Core, while LoginServlet and
> LDAPLoginServlet are part of a new login module that builds oozie-login.war
> when the loginServerExample maven profile is activated (much like how the
> workflow generator is built). The oozie-login.war can be deployed in the
> same tomcat as Oozie or somewhere else. Because
> ExampleAltAuthenticationHandler depends on AltKerberosAuthenticationHandler,
> which isn't in the current Hadoop release, we can temporarily include a copy
> of it in Oozie Core and create a JIRA to delete it later.
