remote hadoop in tomcat with jaas security

["Avni, Itamar" <It...@verint.com>]

Hi,

Our application runs in Tomcat 5.5, Java 6.17, with JAAS.
We give our own implementation to LoginModule and we start Tomcat with -Djava.security.auth.login.config.
We use Hadoop 0.20.203.0.

We want to execute Hadoop jobs, or Hadoop FileSystem methods from within our application, remotely.

Problem: once we use/initialize Hadoop's configuration (either by calling org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem.get(Configuration) or by calling org.apache.hadoop.mapred.JobClient.runJob(JobConf)), the implementation of LoginModule changes from ours to org.apache.hadoop.security.UserGroupInformation.HadoopLoginModule, and we cannot login to our application anymore!

However, there is no problem with the remote execution of the jobs.


I saw this thread (Use JAAS LoginContext for our login<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6299>).
Does it fixes the problem?
It looks like it will still create a new LoginModule? Won't it?

Thanks for any help
Itamar
