[jira] [Updated] (HADOOP-10307) Support multiple Authentication
mechanisms for HTTP
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10307?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Benoy Antony updated HADOOP-10307:
----------------------------------
Attachment: HADOOP-10307.patch
Taking a different approach for this feature.
_CompositeAuthenticationHandler_ is added.
* _CompositeAuthenticationHandler_ accepts multiple _AuthenticationHandler_ via configuration.
* When processing an authentication request, it picks up the _AuthenticationHandler_ based on url parameter “authtype”.
* If “authtype” is not specified, it uses the default _AuthenticationHandler_(first one in the configured list of Authentication Handlers).
* For no-Browser access, there can be a separate _AuthenticationHandler_. This logic is borrowed from _AltKerberosAuthenticationHandler_.
*Note 1*: _CompositeAuthenticationHandler_ offers the features of AltKerberosAuthenticationHandler. In addition, it allows configuring any number of AuthenticationHandlers. Based on the parameters and header values, it delegates control to the appropriate AuthenticationHandler.
*Note 2*: _AnonymousAuthenticationHandler_ is added. With this handler, Anonymous access is achieved via a fixed account. Once can restrict the anonymous access privileges by restricting the permissions of the anonymous account.
