Alejandro Abdelnur commented on HADOOP-9392: -------------------------------------------- +1 for a meetup > Token based authentication and Single Sign On > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-9392 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9392 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: security > Reporter: Kai Zheng > Assignee: Kai Zheng > Fix For: 3.0.0 > > Attachments: token-based-authn-plus-sso.pdf > > > This is an umbrella entry for one of project Rhino’s topic, for details of > project Rhino, please refer to > https://github.com/intel-hadoop/project-rhino/. The major goal for this entry > as described in project Rhino was > > “Core, HDFS, ZooKeeper, and HBase currently support Kerberos authentication > at the RPC layer, via SASL. However this does not provide valuable attributes > such as group membership, classification level, organizational identity, or > support for user defined attributes. Hadoop components must interrogate > external resources for discovering these attributes and at scale this is > problematic. There is also no consistent delegation model. HDFS has a simple > delegation capability, and only Oozie can take limited advantage of it. We > will implement a common token based authentication framework to decouple > internal user and service authentication from external mechanisms used to > support it (like Kerberos)” > > We’d like to start our work from Hadoop-Common and try to provide common > facilities by extending existing authentication framework which support: > 1. Pluggable token provider interface > 2. Pluggable token verification protocol and interface > 3. Security mechanism to distribute secrets in cluster nodes > 4.
