Daryn Sharp commented on HADOOP-8779: ------------------------------------- I believe you are misunderstanding the patch, or I have an unintentional bug. To save people a trip to HDFS-4056, here's the relevant info: bq. SIMPLE is still supported as it currently is today. The difference is that a SIMPLE auth connection may also use a token, whereas today an insecure cluster will kick a client back into SIMPLE auth if it attempts to negotiate DIGEST-MD5 with a token. Clients are not strictly required to use a token. > Use tokens regardless of authentication type > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-8779 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8779 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: fs, security > Affects Versions: 3.0.0, 2.0.2-alpha > Reporter: Daryn Sharp > Assignee: Daryn Sharp > > Security is a combination of authentication and authorization (tokens). > Authorization may be granted independently of the authentication model. > Tokens should be used regardless of simple or kerberos authentication. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
