--------------------------------
Summary: Support federation/SSO using external tokens
Key: KNOX-28
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KNOX-28
Project: Apache Knox
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Kevin Minder
Assignee: Kevin Minder
During our discussions with a customer they expressed requirements that the
gateway and ultimately Hadoop proper accept externally generated authentication
tokens. There are really two possible models here.
1. The gateway accepts external tokens (e.g. SAML, JWT, SWT), extracts the
principal and passes that downstream via either pseudo auth mechanism or
creation of hadoop.auth tokens.
2. The gateway is transparent and passes these external tokens through to the
downstream services where they will perform the required verification. This
model provides better security but will require changes to all downstream
Hadoop services.
