Adam B updated MESOS-4902:
--------------------------
Assignee: (was: Greg Mann)
> Add authentication to remaining agent endpoints
> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MESOS-4902
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-4902
> Project: Mesos
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: HTTP API
> Reporter: Greg Mann
> Labels: authentication, http, mesosphere, security
>
> In addition to the endpoints addressed by MESOS-4850 and MESOS-4951, the
> following endpoints would also benefit from HTTP authentication:
> * {{/profiler/*}}
> * {{/logging/toggle}}
> * {{/metrics/snapshot}}
> * {{/monitor/statistics}}
> * {{/system/stats.json}}
> Adding HTTP authentication to these endpoints is a bit more complicated: some
> endpoints are defined at the libprocess level, while others are defined in
> code that is shared by the master and agent.
> While working on MESOS-4850, it became apparent that since our tests use the
> same instance of libprocess for both master and agent, different default
> authentication realms must be used for master/agent so that HTTP
> authentication can be independently enabled/disabled for each.
> We should establish a mechanism for making an endpoint authenticated that
> allows us to:
> 1) Install an endpoint like {{/files}}, whose code is shared by the master
> and agent, with different authentication realms for the master and agent
> 2) Avoid hard-coding a default authentication realm into libprocess, to
> permit the use of different authentication realms for the master and agent
> and to keep application-level concerns from leaking into libprocess
> Another option would be to use a single default authentication realm and
> always enable or disable HTTP authentication for *both* the master and agent
> in tests. However, this wouldn't allow us to test scenarios where HTTP
> authentication is enabled on one but disabled on the other.
