Raghu Angadi commented on HADOOP-2184:
--------------------------------------
Two Map/Reduce questions :
In the current implementation, are there cases, where same client RPC
connection is used both by infrastructure (not on user's behalf) as well as by
the user (or on users behalf)?
If yes, do you think modifications for not allowing it are fairly straight fwd?
These are relevant for this Jira since current proposal is to have client side
set up the tickets at the connection establishment time. It is still possible
at RPC level to let the user change the ticket associated with connection.. but
its more work for the client make sure always the right ticket is set at a
given time.
> RPC Support for user permissions and authentication.

> Project: Hadoop
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: ipc
> Affects Versions: 0.15.0
> Reporter: Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE
> Assignee: Raghu Angadi
> Fix For: 0.16.0

>
> Update 11/13/2007: What is proposed for 0.16.0 :
> The client can set a user ticket (as defined in HADOOP-1701) for each
> connection and that ticket is made available to RPC calls at the server. The
> client can replace the ticket at any time. The main advantage is that rest of
> the the client RPCs don't need to be aware of the user tickets.
> What RPC would ideally support in future :
> In the current version of RPC, there is no authentication or data protection.
> We propose to change the RPC framework, so that secure communication is
> possible.
> The new RPC should:
> - Compatible with current RPC
> - Allow a pluggable security implementations (see HADOOP-1701)
> - Support both secure and non-secure modes.
> Here is a rough idea:
> - Store security information (e.g. username, keys) in a ticket
> - Use the ticket to establish a RPC connection
> - Create secure sockets by the (subclass of) SocketFactory corresponding to
> the selected security implementations
> - Send the data and RPC parameters with the secure sockets
> When authentication is supported, the RPC callee should also initialize
> caller information during RPC setup and execute the RPC on the caller's
> behalf.
