Lev Bronshtein commented on PHOENIX-4533:
-----------------------------------------
Josh, you are right, anyway I fixed SecureQueryServerIT and provided a patch
for that fix. Though honestly I am not sure how this test would have worked in
the first place given the nature of the error. Hoping to have
HttpParamImpersonationQueryServerIT done shortly as well
> Phoenix Query Server should not use SPNEGO principal to proxy user requests

> Project: Phoenix

>
> Currently the HTTP/ principal is used by various components in the HADOOP
> ecosystem to perform SPNEGO authentication. Since there can only be one
> HTTP/ per host, even outside of the Hadoop ecosystem, the keytab containing
> key material for local HTTP/ principal is shared among a few applications.
> With so many applications having access to the HTTP/ credentials, this
> increases the chances of an attack on the proxy user capabilities of Hadoop.
> This JIRA proposes that two different key tabs can be used to
> 1. Authenticate kerberized web requests
> 2. Communicate with the phoenix back end
