                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KNOX-184
             Project: Apache Knox
          Issue Type: Bug

    Affects Versions: 0.3.0
            Reporter: Dilli Arumugam
             Fix For: 0.3.0


Knox documentation should state the requirement to add proxy grant for knox webhcat-site.xml when knox integrates with secure hadoop webhcat.

The following documentation had to be added.

#### Grant proxy privilege for Knox in `webhcat-stie.xml` on Hadoop master nodes ####

Update `webhcat-site.xml` and add the following lines towards the end of the file.

Replace FQDN_OF_KNOX_HOST with right value in your cluster.
You could use * for local developer testing if Knox host does not have static IP.

    <property>
        <name>hadoop.proxyuser.knox.groups</name>
        <value>users</value>
    </property>
    <property>
        <name>hadoop.proxyuser.knox.hosts</name>
