+ Hue-user mailing list Hi Evert,
Which version of Hue and CDH are you using? CDH3b3 includes Yahoo's security patches, which provide Kerberos authentication. In CDH3b3, we have made changes to Hue's filebrowser application, which provides an interface to upload data into HDFS, so that it works with Hadoop's authentication. Is this similar to what you're looking for? Thanks, Vinithra On Thu, Nov 25, 2010 at 11:16 AM, Evert Lammerts <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi list, > > We're considering to provide our users with FTP and WebDAV interfaces (with > software provided here: http://www.hadoop.iponweb.net/).
