Jacek Lewandowski commented on SPARK-11326:
-------------------------------------------
[~vanzin] of course, this does not add much security at this point because of
these two things you mentioned - (1) all the executors are run as the same user
as the worker, and (2) all the users share the same secret which is used for
connecting to the master which means that even encryption will not prevent them
from disclosing secrets between each other. Both are related. Assuming the user
can use his own credentials to connect to the master, the workers can use
Hadoop native task controller or something like that to run executor as a
specific user (or at least Java security manager can be used to significantly
limit the privileges of executor processes). This is not very difficult.
I have been working on authentication with master as a follow-up and I think I
have something working (need to test it a bit though). It works in the way that
the user provides user and password for connection to the master and the master
uses pluggable authenticator which can provide a password for the given
username. It uses the existing infrastructure with little changes - actually
the user is set as application id because this is in fact used as the
authentication identifier. The change is that the application id is defined per
NettyRpcEndpointRef rather than for SalsClientBootstrap which is imho more
reasonable.
[~markhamstra] the motivation behind this ticket is providing security
mechanism for standalone mode so that it remains easy to configure. If you look
at the configuration of the particular working modes you will notice that it
remains simple. Even providing the aforementioned user authentication with
pluggable authenticators won't complicate the things - it can be as easy as
providing (for example) JDBC connection params to a database which store user
credentials. Also I do believe that there are quite a lot of people who don't
want to setup the whole Yarn or Mesos clusters to achieve basic security
(authentication and encryption is just a basic security from the user
perspective).
> Split networking in standalone mode

> Key: SPARK-11326
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-11326
> Project: Spark
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Spark Core
> Reporter: Jacek Lewandowski
>
> h3.The idea
> Currently, in standalone mode, all components, for all network connections
> need to use the same secure token if they want to have any security ensured.
> This ticket is intended to split the communication in standalone mode to make
> it more like in Yarn mode - application internal communication, scheduler
> internal communication and communication between the client and scheduler.
> Such refactoring will allow for the scheduler (master, workers) to use a
> distinct secret, which will remain unknown for the users. Similarly, it will
> allow for better security in applications, because each application will be
> able to use a distinct secret as well.
> By providing Kerberos based SASL authentication/encryption for connections
> between a client (Client or AppClient) and Spark Master, it will be possible
> to introduce authentication and automatic generation of digest tokens and
> safe sharing them among the application processes.
> h3.User facing changes when running application
> h4.General principles:
> - conf: {{spark.authenticate.secret}} is *never sent* over the wire
> - env: {{SPARK_AUTH_SECRET}} is *never sent* over the wire
> - In all situations env variable will overwrite conf variable if present.
> - In all situations when a user has to pass secret, it is better (safer) to
> do this through env variable
> - In work modes with multiple secrets we assume encrypted communication
> between client and master, between driver and master, between master and
> workers

> in the entity which has them defined and die.
> - env: {{SPARK_SUBMISSION_AUTH_SECRET}} is used by _Client_ to connect to the
> master. It is sent as env variable of the same name with _DriverDescription_
> so that it is also present in the environment of the driver. Driver uses it
> to connect to the master and it will not send it to any other entity.
> - conf: {{spark.submission.authenticate.secret}} is used by _Client_ to
> connect to the master unless env: {{SPARK_SUBMISSION_AUTH_SECRET}} is
> defined. If env: {{SPARK_SUBMISSION_AUTH_SECRET}} is not defined, conf:
> {{spark.submission.authenticate.secret}} is copied to env in
> _DriverDescription_ as {{SPARK_SUBMISSION_AUTH_SECRET}} and removed from conf
> to avoid passing it as Java command line argument when running the driver.
> - env: {{SPARK_APP_AUTH_SECRET}} is sent as env variable of the same name
> with _DriverDescription_ so that it is also present in the environment of the
> driver. Driver uses it to connect to the executors and it will send it with
> _ApplicationDescription_ as env: {{SPARK_AUTH_SECRET}} so that
> _ExecutorRunner_ can put it into the executor environment. Then
> _ExecutorBackend_ can use it to communicate with the driver, other executors
> and external shuffle service.
> - conf: {{spark.app.authenticate.secret}} - if env: {{SPARK_APP_AUTH_SECRET}}
> is not defined, conf: {{spark.app.authenticate.secret}} is copied to env in
> _DriverDescription_ as {{SPARK_APP_AUTH_SECRET}} and removed from conf to
> avoid passing it as Java command line argument when running the driver.
