Jerry He commented on HBASE-4817:
---------------------------------
I think many of us would like to see this simplification!
Definitely.
> Simplify configuration of security components
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-4817
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4817
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: security
> Reporter: Gary Helmling
>
> The HBase security features were built to be optionally loadable, when
> desired, and it shows through in the complexity of configuring security for
> operation.
> In addition to the baseline configuration required for process keytab files
> and server principals, the following properties need to be set to enable
> security:
> {code}
> <property>
> <name>hbase.security.authentication</name>
> <value>kerberos</value>
> </property>
> <property>
> <name>hbase.coprocessor.master.classes</name>
> <value>org.apache.hadoop.hbase.security.access.AccessController</value>
> </property>
> <property>
> <name>hbase.coprocessor.region.classes</name>
>
> <value>org.apache.hadoop.hbase.security.access.AccessController,org.apache.hadoop.hbase.security.token.TokenProvider</value>
> </property>
> <property>
> <name>hbase.rpc.engine</name>
> <value>org.apache.hadoop.hbase.ipc.SecureRpcEngine</value>
> </property>
> <property>
> <name>hbase.zookeeper.property.authProvider.1</name>
> <value>org.apache.zookeeper.server.auth.SASLAuthenticationProvider</value>
> </property>
> {code}
> We should be able to simplify this and automatically setup the underlying
> code components (required coprocessors, SecureRpcEngine) when some high level
> security flags are set.
> For authentication and authorization, I'd like narrow it down to two simple
> configuration properties. When set, these would trigger automatic
> configuration of the required coprocessors/RpcEngine:
> * {{hbase.security.authentication}} - when set to {{kerberos}}, this would
> automatically:
> ** set {{hbase.rpc.engine=org.apache.hadoop.hbase.ipc.SecureRpcEngine}}
> ** add {{org.apache.hadoop.hbase.security.token.TokenProvider}} to the
> configuration for {{hbase.coprocessor.region.classes}}
> ** possibly also set
> {{hbase.zookeeper.property.authProvider.1=org.apache.zookeeper.server.auth.SASLAuthenticationProvider}}
> for zookeeper?
> * {{hbase.security.authorization}} - when set to {{true}}, this would
> automatically:
> ** add {{org.apache.hadoop.hbase.security.access.AccessController}} to the
> configuration for both {{hbase.coprocessor.master.classes}} and
> {{hbase.coprocessor.region.classes}}
