Alejandro Abdelnur created HADOOP-13805:
-------------------------------------------
Summary: UGI.getCurrentUser() fails if user does not have a keytab
associated
Key: HADOOP-13805
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-13805
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Bug
Components: security
Affects Versions: 2.8.0, 2.9.0, 3.0.0-alpha2
Reporter: Alejandro Abdelnur
Priority: Blocker
HADOOP-13558 intention was to avoid UGI from trying to renew the TGT when the
UGI is created from an existing Subject as in that case the keytab is not 'own'
by UGI but by the creator of the Subject.
In HADOOP-13558 we introduced a new private UGI constructor
{{UserGroupInformation(Subject subject, final boolean externalKeyTab)}} and we
use with TRUE only when doing a {{UGI.loginUserFromSubject()}}.
The problem is, when we call {{UGI.getCurrentUser()}}, and UGI was created via
a Subject (via the {{UGI.loginUserFromSubject()}} method), we call {{new
UserGroupInformation(subject)}} which will delegate to
{{UserGroupInformation(Subject subject, final boolean externalKeyTab)}} and
that will use externalKeyTab == *TRUE*.
Then the UGI returned by {{UGI.getCurrentUser()}} will attempt to login using a
non-existing keytab if the TGT expired.
