Alejandro Abdelnur commented on HADOOP-8518: -------------------------------------------- @Daryn, regarding the server sending the hostname in a header, that is not part of the SPNEGO protocol. And it could be a security vulnerability, it would enable a MiM attack. Plus, the client has to dictate what is the server principal as we are enforcing dual authentication. > SPNEGO client side should use KerberosName rules > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-8518 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8518 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: security > Affects Versions: 1.0.3, 2.0.0-alpha > Reporter: Alejandro Abdelnur > Assignee: Alejandro Abdelnur > Fix For: 1.1.0, 2.0.1-alpha > > > currently KerberosName is used only on the server side to resolve the client > name, we should use it on the client side as well to resolve the server name > before getting the kerberos ticket. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
