Yongjun Zhang commented on HADOOP-10895: ---------------------------------------- Hi Guys, If we make the default constructor of KerberosAuthenticator and KerberosDelegationTokenAuthenticator to apply the static boolean allowDefaultAuthToFallbackToPseudo in KerberosAuthenticator, then we can continue to use the {{DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATOR.newInstance()}} call in class AuthenticatedURL and DelegationTokenAuthenticatedURL, and it would look cleaner. E.g., change {code} public KerberosAuthenticator() { this(false); } {code} to {code} public KerberosAuthenticator() { this(allowDefaultAuthToFallbackToPseudo); } {code} The suggested {{getDefaultAuthenticatorInstance()}} method would simply be {{DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATOR.newInstance()}} . > HTTP KerberosAuthenticator fallback should have a flag to disable it > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-10895 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10895 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Components: security > Affects Versions: 2.4.1 > Reporter: Alejandro Abdelnur > Assignee: Yongjun Zhang > Priority: Blocker > Attachments: HADOOP-10895.001.patch, HADOOP-10895.002.patch, > HADOOP-10895.003.patch, HADOOP-10895.003v1.patch, HADOOP-10895.003v2.patch, > HADOOP-10895.003v2improved.patch, HADOOP-10895.004.patch > > > Per review feedback in HADOOP-10771, {{KerberosAuthenticator}} and the > delegation token version coming in with HADOOP-10771 should have a flag to > disable fallback to pseudo, similarly to the one that was introduced in > Hadoop RPC client with HADOOP-9698. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
