Aaron T. Myers commented on HDFS-2617: -------------------------------------- @Jakob - those are certainly good reasons. Another benefit of going with the SPNEGO approach is that fsck just goes straight to a URL on the NN, so the approach I proposed would require adding some system to authenticate that as well. So, +1 to SPNEGO. It seems like my proposal would be more trouble than it's worth. > Replaced Kerberized SSL for image transfer and fsck with SPNEGO-based solution > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HDFS-2617 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2617 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Jakob Homan > Assignee: Jakob Homan > > The current approach to secure and authenticate nn web services is based on > Kerberized SSL and was developed when a SPNEGO solution wasn't available. Now > that we have one, we can get rid of the non-standard KSSL and use SPNEGO > throughout. This will simplify setup and configuration. Also, Kerberized > SSL is a non-standard approach with its own quirks and dark corners > (HDFS-2386). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
