Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE resolved HADOOP-2182. -------------------------------------------- Resolution: Duplicate Created by accident: JIRE said that I hadn't login but the issue was created indeed. > Change RPC to provide secure communication > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-2182 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2182 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE > > In the current version of RPC, there is no authentication or data protection. > We propose to change the RPC framework, so that secure communication is > possible. > The new RPC should: > - Compatible with current RPC > - Allow a pluggable security implementations (see HADOOP-1701) > - Support both secure and non-secure modes. > Here is a rough idea: > - Store security information (e.g. username, keys) in a ticket > - Use the ticket to establish a RPC connection > - Create secure sockets by the (subclass of) SocketFactory corresponding to > the selected security implementations > - Send the data and RPC parameters with the secure sockets > When authentication is supported, the RPC callee should also initialize > caller information during RPC setup and execute the RPC on the caller's > behalf. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
