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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: common-issues-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: common-issues-h...@hadoop.apache.org
