Suresh Srinivas commented on HDFS-5796:
---------------------------------------
[~kihwal], this is marked as a blocker. Can you please respond to [~wheat9]'s
comment above and confirm the pluggable authentication mechanism addresses the
need?
> The file system browser in the namenode UI requires SPNEGO.

> Key: HDFS-5796
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5796
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.3.0
> Reporter: Kihwal Lee
> Assignee: Haohui Mai
> Priority: Blocker
>
> After HDFS-5382, the browser makes webhdfs REST calls directly, requiring
> SPNEGO to work between user's browser and namenode. This won't work if the
> cluster's security infrastructure is isolated from the regular network.
> Moreover, SPNEGO is not supposed to be required for user-facing web pages.
