---------------------------------------
Summary: WebHCat, Templeton need to support proxy users
Key: HCATALOG-645
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HCATALOG-645
Project: HCatalog
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: webhcat-svr
Affects Versions: hive-0.12
Reporter: Dilli Arumugam
We have a use case where a Gateway would provide unified and controlled access
to secure hadoop cluster.
The Gateway itself would authenticate to secure WebHDFS, Oozie and Templeton
with SPNego.
The Gateway would authenticate the end user with http basic and would assert
the end user identity as douser argument in the calls to downstream WebHDFS,
Oozie and Templeton.
This works fine with WebHDFS and Oozie. But, does not work for Templeton as
Templeton does not support proxy users.
Hence, request to add this improvement to Templeton.
