             Summary: Control http authentication cookie persistence via 
configuration
                 Key: HADOOP-12049
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12049
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: security
            Reporter: Benoy Antony
            Assignee: Benoy Antony


During http authentication, a cookie is dropped. This is a persistent cookie. 
The cookie is valid across browser sessions.
For clusters which require enhanced security,  it is desirable to have a 
session cookie so that cookie gets deleted when the user closes browser session.

It should be possible to specify cookie persistence (session or persistent) via 
configuration
