Jerry He created HBASE-12168: -------------------------------- Summary: 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)
