-----------------------------------

             Summary: SPNEGO filter should have better error messages when not 
fully configured
                 Key: HADOOP-8410
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8410
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: security
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
            Reporter: Todd Lipcon
            Priority: Minor


I upgraded to a build which includes SPNEGO, but neglected to configure  
dfs.web.authentication.kerberos.principal. This resulted in the following error:

12/05/18 14:46:20 INFO server.KerberosAuthenticationHandler: Login using keytab 
//home/todd/confs/conf.pseudo.security//hdfs.keytab, for principal 
${dfs.web.authentication.kerberos.principal}
12/05/18 14:46:20 WARN mortbay.log: failed SpnegoFilter: 
javax.servlet.ServletException: javax.security.auth.login.LoginException: 
Unable to obtain password from user

Instead, it should give an error that the principal needs to be configured. 
Even better would be if we could default to HTTP/_HOST@<default realm>
