--------------------------------
Summary: Improve the documentation of SSL/HTTPS-related
configuration
Key: HDFS-5273
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5273
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Haohui Mai
Assignee: Haohui Mai
Priority: Minor
There are multiple switches in the configuration related to HTTPS/SSL, some of
which are confusing. For example, _dfs.https.enable_ controls that whether http
server will open another port for HTTPS connections, but when
_hadoop.ssl.enabled_ is set to true, the original HTTP server only serves HTTPS
connections.
Combining other requirements of setting up secure clusters (e.g., the HTTP port
has to be lower than 1024 for a secure datanode), we found that a well-written
document is a must-have to overcome the pain of configuring an
SSL/HTTPS-enabled cluster.
