Owen O'Malley commented on HDFS-2617: ------------------------------------- The KSSL is required to use weak encryption. It should not be used in secure deployments except as a compatibility hack. > 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 > Components: security > Reporter: Jakob Homan > Assignee: Jakob Homan > Fix For: 2.1.0-alpha > > Attachments: HDFS-2617-a.patch, HDFS-2617-b.patch, > HDFS-2617-branch-1.patch, HDFS-2617-config.patch, HDFS-2617-trunk.patch, > HDFS-2617-trunk.patch, HDFS-2617-trunk.patch, HDFS-2617-trunk.patch, > hdfs-2617-1.1.patch > > > 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.
