Ok thanks, Ill reach you by mail.

I really don't think that particular thing has been open sourced I may try to explain that stuff offline for hadoop related security either you rely on network security or kerberos. You may also try securing hadoop with active directory https://ccp.cloudera.com/display/CDHDOC/Integrating+Hadoop+Security+with+Act ive+Directory for webservices related security you can reach me, we can discuss that if you need it On Tue, Jan 22, 2013 at 11:07 PM, Fabio Pitzolu <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: Hi Nitin, thank you for the answer. Your second option will be the most feasible, and I think that this not hadoop-aware, but its a general Tomcat configuration, am I right? Could you please link me some doc about this configuration? Thanks a lot!

And in case you need to access internet for hadoop/oozie then you can setup a NAT this will be like building your private cloud infra with different internet gateways other way would be you build your own certificate based authentication library. (we used to have this @ yahoo where we used to restrict access to server having certificate only) On Tue, Jan 22, 2013 at 8:50 PM, Fabio Pitzolu <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: Hi all, Ive been asked to check whether is possible to use certificates to secure the connection between Hadoop and Oozie and the external world or not. Case is this: We have to develop a webservice to run Oozie workflows and access HDFS, so that there will be just one interface between the cluster and a user web application. Current security scenario does not allow to use Kerberos to authenticate the users, so we were thinking about using certificates, distributed through the Tomcat stack (as show on the following diagram). The idea is that only a client (in this case the client would be the Java WebService the blue box) with the right certificate could talk to the Hadoop / Oozie machines. Is it possible to achieve this scenario? If so, is there a whitepaper on the Internet that shows how to do this? If not possible, what do you think would be the best security solution not using Kerberos (example, firewall sec., IP security, )? Thank you very much, have a nice day!
