Ruslan Dautkhanov commented on THRIFT-889: ------------------------------------------ My understanding is that Facebook's Thrift library is a fork of Apache Thrift? And it has Kerberos support. Would it be possible to merge back Kerberos support from https://github.com/facebook/fbthrift ? Both are Apache-license based open-source products.. > Add SPNEGO support to Thrift HTTP transport > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: THRIFT-889 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-889 > Project: Thrift > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Java - Library > Reporter: Carl Steinbach > Attachments: SPNEGO_cropped.png > > > [SPNEGO|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPNEGO] is the standard mechanism for > Kerberos authentication over HTTP. > Thrift should give users the option of using a Thrift HTTP client or server > that is capable of authentication using SPNEGO/Kerberos. This will be useful > for Hadoop which has chosen Kerberos as its standard authentication protocol, > as well as people who need to use Kerberos authentication with Thrift based > services running in servlet containers like Tomcat. > References: > * [LGPL licensed SPNEGO library for Java|http://spnego.sourceforge.net/] > * [Glassfish Spnego project|https://spnego.dev.java.net/] > * [SPNEGO authentication scheme for > HTTPClient|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-523] -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
