UserGroupInformation lacks a simple method to login using a password, and also makes an important method private. While many people seem to believe that kinit should be used for passwords, it is unworkable in many cases (such as when software is running as a service). Currently to workaround we must do all of this: // create a dynamic configuration for the LoginContext Map<String,String> krbOptions = new HashMap<String,String>(); krbOptions.put("doNotPrompt", "false"); krbOptions.put("useTicketCache", "false"); krbOptions.put("useKeyTab", "false"); krbOptions.put("renewTGT", "false"); AppConfigurationEntry ace = new AppConfigurationEntry( KerberosUtil.getKrb5LoginModuleName(), LoginModuleControlFlag.REQUIRED, krbOptions); DynamicConfiguration dynConf = new DynamicConfiguration( new AppConfigurationEntry[] {ace}); // create LoginContext with login callback handler LoginContext loginContext = newLoginContext(USER_PASSWORD_LOGIN_KERBEROS_CONFIG_NAME, null, new LoginHandler(userPrincipal, password), dynConf); loginContext.login(); // get Subject and Principal for logged in user Subject loginSubject = loginContext.getSubject(); Set<Principal> loginPrincipals = loginSubject.getPrincipals(); if (loginPrincipals.isEmpty()) { throw new LoginException("No login principals in loginSubject: " + loginSubject); } String username = loginPrincipals.iterator().next().getName(); Principal ugiUser = newUser(username, AuthenticationMethod.KERBEROS, loginContext); // update Hadoop security details loginSubject.getPrincipals().add(ugiUser); UserGroupInformation loginUser = newUserGroupInformation(loginSubject); UserGroupInformation.setLoginUser(loginUser); setUGILogin(loginUser, loginContext); // do loginUser.setLogin(loginContext) loginUser.setAuthenticationMethod(AuthenticationMethod.KERBEROS); Note the method setUGILogin() uses reflection to overcome private method that we need: private static void setUGILogin(UserGroupInformation loginUser, LoginContext loginContext) throws SecurityException, NoSuchMethodException, IllegalArgumentException, IllegalAccessException, InvocationTargetException { Class<UserGroupInformation> cls = UserGroupInformation.class; Method mtd = cls.getDeclaredMethod("setLogin", LoginContext.class); mtd.setAccessible(true); mtd.invoke(loginUser, loginContext); } Finally there is no method reloginFromPassword(). While we can use reflection to access the private methods needed for this, it should simply be supported. PS: I really hope I've just missed something obvious and you can just call me an idiot ;-) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
