[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-10679) Authorize webui access using ServiceAuthorizationManager

["Benoy Antony (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10679?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14027125#comment-14027125 ] 

Benoy Antony commented on HADOOP-10679:
---------------------------------------

Here is the proposal:

1. Define an AuthorizationFilter. 
2. The AuthorizationFilter looks up ACL in hadoop-policy.xml using the key derived from  HttpServletRequest.getServletPath() .
3. If ACL is not found,  the ACL defaults to *.  

This will inherit the following features (in progress)
Note 1 : Administrator can override default ACL - HADOOP-10649
Note 2 : Administrator can specify a reverse ACL - HADOOP-10650
Note 3 : Administrator block/grant access via IPS - HADOOP-10651
Note 4 : One can plugin a different AuthZ module  - HADOOP-10654

> Currently accessing Hadoop via RPC can be authorized using _ServiceAuthorizationManager_. But there is no uniform authorization of the HTTP access. Some of the servlets check for admin privilege. 
> This creates an inconsistency of authorization between access via RPC vs HTTP. 
> The fix is to enable authorization of the webui access using _ServiceAuthorizationManager_.
