ASF subversion and git services commented on SOLR-9324: ------------------------------------------------------- Commit e50858c314a138e2c2ced50bee9a5c2754929f8b in lucene-solr's branch refs/heads/master from [~gchanan] [ https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=lucene-solr.git;h=e50858c ] SOLR-9324: Support Secure Impersonation / Proxy User for solr authentication > Support Secure Impersonation / Proxy User for solr authentication > ----------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-9324 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-9324 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Improvement > Security Level: Public(Default Security Level. Issues are Public) > Components: SolrCloud > Reporter: Gregory Chanan > Assignee: Gregory Chanan > Attachments: SOLR-9324.patch, SOLR-9324.patch, SOLR-9324.patch, > SOLR-9324_branch_6x.patch > > > Solr should support Proxy User / Secure Impersonation for authentication, as > supported by hadoop > (http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/Superusers.html) > and supported by the hadoop AuthenticationFilter (which we use for the > KerberosPlugin). > There are a number of use cases, but a common one is this: > There is a front end for searches (say, Hue http://gethue.com/) that supports > its own login mechanisms. If the cluster uses kerberos for authentication, > hue must have kerberos credentials for each user, which is a pain to manage. > Instead, hue can be allowed to impersonate known users from known machines so > it only needs its own kerberos credentials. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
