The configuration parameters are the same parameters used within Apache Hadoop for the same capabilities.

-One of the interesting things to note about this configuration is the use of the config.prefix parameter. In Hadoop there may be multiple components with their own specific configuration values for these parameters and since they may get mixed into the same Configuration object - there needs to be a way to identify the component specific values. The config.prefix parameter is used for this and is prepended to each of the configuration parameters for this provider. Below, you see an example configuration where the value for config.prefix happens to be 'hadoop.auth.config'. You will also notice that this same value is prepended to the name of the rest of the configuration parameters.

This often results in the UIs not being secured - even in secured clusters. This is where KnoxSSO provides value by providing WebSSO capabilities to the Hadoop cluster.
By leveraging the hadoop-auth module in Hadoop common, we have introduced the ability to consume a common SSO cookie for web UIs while retaining the non-web browser authentication through kerberos/SPNEGO. We do this by extending the AltKerberosAuthenticationHandler class which provides the useragent based multiplexing.

### PAM based Authentication ###
-There is a large number of pluggable authentication modules available on many linux installations and from vendors of authentication solutions that are great to leverage for authenticating access to Hadoop through the Knox Gateway. In addition to LDAP support described in this guide, the ShiroProvider also includes support for PAM based authentication for unix based systems.
+There is a large number of pluggable authentication modules available on many Linux installations and from vendors of authentication solutions that are great to leverage for authenticating access to Hadoop through the Knox Gateway. In addition to LDAP support described in this guide, the ShiroProvider also includes support for PAM based authentication for unix based systems.
This opens up the integration possibilities to many other readily available authentication mechanisms as well as other implementations for LDAP based authentication. More flexibility may be available through various PAM modules for group lookup, more complicated LDAP schemas or other areas where the KnoxLdapRealm is not sufficient.
#### Configuration ####
##### Overview #####
-The primary motivation for leveraging PAM based authentication is to provide the ability to use the configuration provided by existing PAM modules that are available in a system's /etc/pam.d/ directory. Therefore, the solution provided here is as simple as possible in order to allow the PAM module config itself to be the source of truth. What we do need to configure is the fact that we are using PAM through the main.pamRealm parameter and the KnoxPamRealm classname and the particular PAM module to use with the main.pamRealm.service parameter in the below example we have 'login'.

### Knox CLI ###
The Knox CLI is a command line utility for the management of various aspects of the Knox deployment. It is primarily concerned with the management of the security artifacts for the gateway instance and each of the deployed topologies or Hadoop clusters that are gated by the Knox Gateway instance.
-The various security artifacts are also generated and populated automatically by the Knox Gateway runtime when they are not found at startup. The assumptions made in those cases are appropriate for a test or development gateway instance and assume 'localhost' for hostname specific activities. For production deployments the use of the CLI may aid in managing some production deployments.

-This command will test a topology's ability to connect, authenticate, and authorize a user with an LDAP server. The only required argument is the --cluster argument to specify the name of the topology you wish to use. The topology must be valid (passes validate-topology command). If a --u and --p argument are not specified, the command line will prompt for a username and password. If authentication is successful then the command will attempt to use the topology to do an LDAP group lookup. The topology must be configured correctly to do this. If it is not, groups will not return and no errors will be printed unless the `--g` command is specified. Currently this command only works if a topology supports the use of ShiroProvider for authentication.
