Hadoop web interface authentication

[Artem Ervits <ar...@nyp.org>]

Hello all,

I added the following setting  hadoop.http.authentication.simple.anonymous.allowed. Now when I try to login to Web UI, I get 401 error unless I specify user.name=username. This is exactly what I want but I noticed that I can pass any user name and it will work as long as it is not null. What else am I missing from the core-site file to make it work? Also, is there a way I can add a configuration so that a password would be required to get access? I am aware of Kerberos authentication method but I have it configured with Active directory and until I find the correct location of the keytab, I can't use it.

Thanks all.
