Benoy Antony commented on HDFS-5661: ------------------------------------ Browser visits namenode.domainname.com:50070 . "hadoopauth" cookie is dropped with domain as "domainname.com". User clicks "browse File system" on the webui and browser gets redirected to ADataNode.domainname.com:1006 . Then the browser will send cookies to ADataNode.domainname.com . Without this patch, when user clicks "browse File system" on the webui and gets redirected to datanodeipaddress:1006 and hence no cookies will be sent. > Browsing FileSystem via web ui, should use datanode's hostname instead of ip > address > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HDFS-5661 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5661 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.2.0 > Reporter: Benoy Antony > Assignee: Benoy Antony > Attachments: HDFS-5661.patch > > > 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 > address. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.4#6159)
