Kihwal Lee commented on HDFS-5796:
----------------------------------
The existing use case was to use a custom auth filter for web ui accesses and
SPNEGO for webhdfs. HDFS-5716 cannot be used to support this use case. In any
case, I no longer think this is a blocker.
> 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.
