Hairong Kuang commented on HADOOP-1701:
---------------------------------------
One question about the API design. Why "login" is a method of
AuthenticationModule but "logout" is a method of LoginCredential? Does it more
natural to put both of them in AuthenticationModule? Also it seems Principal
has implemented all interface methods so it does not need to be an abstract
class.
> Provide a simple authentication service and a user management service

> In HADOOP-1298, we want to add user information and permission to the file
> system. It requires an authentication service and a user management service.
> We should provide a framework and a simple implementation in issue and
> extend it later. As discussed in HADOOP-1298, the framework should be
> extensible and pluggable.
> - Extensible: possible to extend the framework to the other parts (e.g.
> map-reduce) of Hadoop.
> - Pluggable: can easily switch security implementations. Below is a diagram
> borrowed from Java.

> - Implement a Hadoop authentication center (HAC). In the first step, the
> mechanism of HAC is very simple, it keeps track a list of usernames (we only
> support users, will work on other principals later) in HAC and verify
> username in user login (yeah, no password). HAC can run inside NameNode or
> run as a stand alone server. We will probably use Kerberos to provide more
> sophisticated authentication service.
