Haohui Mai commented on HDFS-5661:
----------------------------------
The namenode and the datanode have different origins therefore the browser will
not attach the cookies when making a request to the datanode. Redirecting using
the domain name will not help.
> Browsing FileSystem via web ui, should use datanode's hostname instead of ip
> address

> If authentication is enabled on the web ui, then a cookie is used to keep
> track of the authentication information. There is normally a domain
> associated with the cookie. Since ip address doesn't have any domain , the
> cookie will not be sent by the browser while making http calls with ip
> address as the destination server.
> This will break browsing files system via web ui , if authentication is
> enabled.
> Browsing FileSystem via web ui, should use datanode's hostname instead of ip
