[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-13707) If kerberos is enabled while HTTP SPNEGO is not configured, some links cannot be accessed

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-13707?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15565604#comment-15565604 ] 

Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-13707:
-------------------------------------------

/logs was specifically blocked way back when due to the sensitive nature of the content. Non-admin users shouldn't be looking at it at all and admin users have access from the shell.

> In {{HttpServer2#hasAdministratorAccess}}, it uses `hadoop.security.authorization` to detect whether HTTP is authenticated.
> It's not correct, because enabling Kerberos and HTTP SPNEGO are two steps. If Kerberos is enabled while HTTP SPNEGO is not, some links cannot be accessed, such as "/logs", and it will return error message as below:
> {quote}
> HTTP ERROR 403
> Problem accessing /logs/. Reason:
> User dr.who is unauthorized to access this page.
> {quote}
> We should use {{hadoop.http.authentication.type}} instead of {{hadoop.security.authorization}} to detect whether HTTP authentication is enabled, if the value of  {{hadoop.http.authentication.type}}  equals `simple`, anybody has administrator access.
