Allow Super user access only from certian trusted IP Range- This is to avoid spoofing by others as super user and gain access to the cluster --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-6187 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6187 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: New Feature Components: ipc Affects Versions: 0.20.0 Reporter: Pallavi Palleti The current hadoop environment assumes that everything is trusted environment and so doesn't have any security checks. This might lead to any one to spoof as super user and gain access to the cluster if the environment is open for every one. So, there is a need to restrict super user permission only from certain IP addresses. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
