Thomas Graves commented on MAPREDUCE-2987: ------------------------------------------ if a web page isn't configured to go through authentication, the username will show up as null. getRemoteUser - if the user has been authenticated, or null if the user has not been authenticated. I think just not displaying it if its not configured would make more sense. > RM UI display logged in user as null > ------------------------------------ > > Key: MAPREDUCE-2987 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-2987 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Components: mrv2 > Affects Versions: 0.23.0 > Reporter: Thomas Graves > Assignee: Thomas Graves > Fix For: 0.23.0 > > > All the pages of the UI, currently show "Logged in as: null" instead of the > correct username -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
