Allen Wittenauer commented on HDFS-5796:
----------------------------------------
All:
I have set this as a blocker for 2.7.0 on the basis that http-auth-based
plug-ins (especially those that require additional configuration) don't work.
This is a pretty big regression from previous versions of Hadoop, made fatal
now that the old HDFS browse code has been removed.
If we feel that this particular JIRA has forked from that issue, then let's
create a new one.
Thanks.
> The file system browser in the namenode UI requires SPNEGO.

> After HDFS-5382, the browser makes webhdfs REST calls directly, requiring
> SPNEGO to work between user's browser and namenode. This won't work if the
> cluster's security infrastructure is isolated from the regular network.
> Moreover, SPNEGO is not supposed to be required for user-facing web pages.
