[jira] [Comment Edited] (HIVE-26071) JWT authentication for Thrift over HTTP in HiveMetaStore

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-26071?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17536298#comment-17536298 ]

[~adondon] : Please find the answers 
 * Would it be possible to run both protocol at same time (thrift and http?)

      - No. Only one mode can be enabled. But if there is a need, it should be easy to extend the current implementation to support both modes together

 
 * What's about the Authenticator interface to get for example the username or groups in the jwt claims? For what i saw but i am not sure the Authenticator interface is quite couple with hadoop/kerberos ugi ?

      - You are right, the authentication in JWT is not coupled with Kerberos. The user is expected to set the username (in the subject field) in the JWT and send that JWT in the header request to metastore server. The server, after validating the token, extracts the username from the subject field, executes the operation as that user via ugi.doAs(). 

 
 * Is there already a design today to allow like storage based authorization implementation where authenticator can get information of who is authenticated but not Hadoop related? 

     - Not sure if I understand it correctly. In the current implementation, metastore server during start phase, fetches jwks from a configurable url and validates all the future JWTs using this set. 

 

Let me know if you have any thoughts/concerns.
