Misty Stanley-Jones commented on HBASE-12168: --------------------------------------------- Please feel free to document this as you go, or at least take notes and leave them here. > Document Rest gateway SPNEGO-based authentication for client > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HBASE-12168 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12168 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Task > Components: documentation, REST, security > Reporter: Jerry He > Fix For: 0.98.8, 0.99.1 > > > After HBASE-5050, we seem to support SPNEGO-based authentication from client > on Rest gateway. But I had a tough time finding the info. > The support is not mentioned in Security book. In the security book, we still > have: > bq. It should be possible for clients to authenticate with the HBase cluster > through the REST gateway in a pass-through manner via SPEGNO HTTP > authentication. This is future work. > The release note in HBASE-5050 seems to be obsolete as well. e.g. > hbase.rest.kerberos.spnego.principal seems to be obsolete. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
