[jira] [Commented] (HDFS-5796) The file system browser in the namenode UI requires SPNEGO.

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5796?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13904784#comment-13904784 ] 

Haohui Mai commented on HDFS-5796:
----------------------------------

HDFS-5716 allows pluggable authentication mechanism in WebHDFS which provides a solution to this problem. Is it okay to mark this bug as a duplicate of HDFS-5716?

> After HDFS-5382, the browser makes webhdfs REST calls directly, requiring SPNEGO to work between user's browser and namenode.  This won't work if the cluster's security infrastructure is isolated from the regular network.  Moreover, SPNEGO is not supposed to be required for user-facing web pages.
