Eric Yang commented on HADOOP-16023:
------------------------------------
[~bolke] Some Apache projects are using dual license libraries. (e.g. HBase
uses jruby). Most of the time, this is not an issue, however, com.sun.jna
package name is an area of concern. [Oracle and Google
lawsuit|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_America,_Inc._v._Google,_Inc.] is
a related example that Oracle might seek damages that subject to non-fair use
of Java API packages. There is a tiny risk to use jna library.
> Support system /etc/krb5.conf for auth_to_local rules

> Key: HADOOP-16023
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-16023
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Bolke de Bruin
> Assignee: Bolke de Bruin
> Priority: Major
> Labels: security
>
> Hadoop has long maintained its own configuration for Kerberos' auth_to_local
> rules. To the user this is counter intuitive and increases the complexity of
> maintaining a secure system as the normal way of configuring these
> auth_to_local rules is done in the site wide krb5.conf usually /etc/krb5.conf.
> With HADOOP-15996 there is now support for configuring how Hadoop should
> evaluate auth_to_local rules. A "system" mechanism should be added.
> It should be investigated how to properly parse krb5.conf. JDK seems to be
> lacking as it is unable to obtain auth_to_local rules due to a bug in its
> parser. Apache Kerby has an implementation that could be used. A native (C)
> version is also a possibility.
