Hello [~jeffreyr97] thanks for filing this.
IIUC, AuthenticationWithProxyUserFilter was added in HADOOP-13119, which was fixed in 2.7.4, 3.0.0-alpha2, 2.8.1, and therefore please update affects versions and target versions accordingly.

Also, it would be awesome if you could also attach a test case. Thanks!

> Many production environments use firewalls to protect network traffic. In the specific case of DataNode UI and other Hadoop server for which their ports may fall on the list of firewalled ports the org.apache.hadoop.security.AuthenticationWithProxyUserFilter user getRemotAdd (HttpServletRequest) which may return the firewall host such as 127.0.0.1.
> This is unfortunately bad since if you are using a proxy in addition to do perimeter protection, and you have added your proxy as a super user when  checking for the proxy IP to authorize user this would fail since getRemoteAdd would return the IP of the firewall (127.0.0.1).
> "2017-04-08 07:01:23,029 ERROR security.AuthenticationWithProxyUserFilter (AuthenticationWithProxyUserFilter.java:getRemoteUser(94)) - Unable to verify proxy user: Unauthorized connection for super-user: knox from IP 127.0.0.1"
> I propese to add a check for x-forwarded-for header since proxys usually inject that header before we do a getRemoteAddr
