> Fix For: Impala 4.0

>
> Currently, when security is turned on for the webui, eg. with
> --webserver_require_ldap or --webserver_require_spnego, authentication is
> applied to all webui endpoints.
> However, there are some endpoints that expose low-sensitivity info, eg.
> /healthz, and which are scraped by other systems that it may be difficult to
> get credentials to in order to be able to authenticate, eg. a Kubernetes
> health check or prometheus monitoring. It would be useful to provide a way to
> allow unauthenticated access to those endpoints.
> One option would be to run another instance of the webserver on another port.
> This instance could be unsecured and only expose a few low-sensitivity
> endpoints. This would allow for a configuration where Impala is run in a
> private network and the main webserver port could be exposed externally, eg.
> through an nginx gateway, while keeping the port for the second webserver
> only available to internal systems.
