Ryan Sasson commented on HADOOP-10703:
--------------------------------------
Unifying the signers and allowing WebHDFS to be configured with an alt-kerberos
auth handler sub class will resolve the issue.
> HttpServer2 creates multiple authentication filters

> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: security
> Affects Versions: 2.4.0
> Reporter: Benoy Antony
> Assignee: Benoy Antony
> Fix For: 2.7.0
>
> Attachments: HADOOP-10703-002.patch, HADOOP-10703-003.patch,

>
> The HttpServer2.defineFilter creates a Filter instance for each context. By
> default, there are 3 contexts.
> So there will be 3 separate AuthenticationFilter instances and corresponding
> AuthenticationHandler instances. This also results in 3 separate
> initializations of AuthenticationHandler.
> The log file illustrating this repeated initialization is attached.
