Jakob Homan commented on HADOOP-7119:
-------------------------------------
I'm hoping to take a look at this later this week, but before this code goes
in, we'll need to do a review of Alfredo as well. It's a new library that's
not been reviewed or tested, but would become a crucial part of the security
infrastructure, assuming this patch goes in.
> add Kerberos HTTP SPNEGO authentication support to Hadoop JT/NN/DN/TT
> web-consoles

> Key: HADOOP-7119
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7119
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: security
> Affects Versions: 0.23.0
> Environment: all
> Reporter: Alejandro Abdelnur
> Assignee: Alejandro Abdelnur
> Attachments: ha-common-01.patch, ha-common-02.patch, ha-commons.patch

> Currently the JT/NN/DN/TT web-consoles don't support any form of
> authentication.
> Hadoop RPC API already supports Kerberos authentication.
> Kerberos enables single sign-on.
> Popular browsers (Firefox and Internet Explorer) have support for Kerberos
> HTTP SPNEGO.
> Adding support for Kerberos HTTP SPNEGO to Hadoop web consoles would provide
> a unified authentication mechanism and single sign-on for Hadoop web UI and
> Hadoop RPC.
