----------------------------------
Summary: Single sign on between web console and webhdfs
Key: HADOOP-10671
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10671
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: security
Reporter: Kai Zheng
Assignee: Kai Zheng
Currently it's not able to single sign on between hadoop web console and
webhdfs since they don't share common configurations as required to, such as
signature secret to sign authenticaton token, and domain cookie etc. This
improvement would allow sso between the two, and also simplify the
configuration by removing the duplicate effort for the two parts.
The sso makes sense because in current web console, it integrates webhdfs and
we should avoid redundant sign on in different mechanisms. This is necessary
when a certain authentication mechanism other than SPNEGO is desired across web
console and webhdfs.
