Larry McCay created HADOOP-12481: ------------------------------------ Summary: JWTRedirectAuthenticationHandler doesn't Retain Original Query String Key: HADOOP-12481 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12481 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Improvement Components: security Reporter: Larry McCay Assignee: Larry McCay Fix For: 2.8.0
Extend AltKerberosAuthenticationHandler to provide WebSSO flow for UIs. The actual authentication is done by some external service that the handler will redirect to when there is no hadoop.auth cookie and no JWT token found in the incoming request. Using JWT provides a number of benefits: * It is not tied to any specific authentication mechanism - so buys us many SSO integrations * It is cryptographically verifiable for determining whether it can be trusted * Checking for expiration allows for a limited lifetime and window for compromised use This will introduce the use of nimbus-jose-jwt library for processing, validating and parsing JWT tokens. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
