Allen Wittenauer commented on HDFS-5796:
----------------------------------------
bq. This ticket has stalled again, blocking the 2.7 release.
Sort of. Everyone here went to HADOOP-10703 with the hope that it would fix
the problem. However, it did not.
> The file system browser in the namenode UI requires SPNEGO.

> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.5.0
> Reporter: Kihwal Lee
> Assignee: Ryan Sasson
> Priority: Blocker
> Attachments: HDFS-5796.1.patch, HDFS-5796.1.patch, HDFS-5796.2.patch,

> 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.
