Eli Collins resolved HADOOP-5405. --------------------------------- Resolution: Won't Fix hdfs proxy was removed. > Adding support for HDFS proxy > ----------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-5405 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5405 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: security > Reporter: Kan Zhang > Assignee: Kan Zhang > > Currently, HDFS doesn't authenticate users. The client simply tells HDFS who > she is and HDFS will take her word for it. That makes it possible for HDFS > proxy to access HDFS on behalf of a user - the proxy simply claims to be that > user. Once we turn on authentication, the proxy can't do that without having > user's credentials. We need a solution such that HDFS proxy can continue to > access HDFS on behalf of users. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
