Eli Collins created HADOOP-8857: ----------------------------------- Summary: hadoop.http.authentication.signature.secret.file should be created if the configured file does not exist Key: HADOOP-8857 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8857 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Bug Components: security Affects Versions: 2.0.0-alpha Reporter: Eli Collins Priority: Minor
AuthenticationFilterInitializer#initFilter fails if the configured {{hadoop.http.authentication.signature.secret.file}} does not exist, eg: {noformat} java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not read HTTP signature secret file: /var/lib/hadoop-hdfs/hadoop-http-auth-signature-secret {noformat} Creating /var/lib/hadoop-hdfs/hadoop-http-auth-signature-secret (populated with a string) fixes the issue. Per the auth docs "If a secret is not provided a random secret is generated at start up time.", which sounds like it means the file should be generated at startup with a random secrete, which doesn't seem to be the case. Also the instructions in the docs should be more clear in this regard. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
