[jira] [Comment Edited] (RANGER-3635) REST-API security risk, cookie hadoop.auth is often ignored, web session works instead, timeout is broken.

Have any idea of the cookie problem in RangerKRBAuthenticationFilter.java ?

Ranger wont extract userName from cookie here.

>             Project: Ranger
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: admin
>    Affects Versions: 3.0.0, 2.2.0, 2.3.0
>            Reporter: kirby zhou
>            Priority: Major
>
> Now, a successful REST-API call will set 2 cookies:
> A. "hadoop.auth" by RangerKrbFilter::createAuthCookie
> B. "RANGERADMINSESSIONID" by tomcat http session system
>  
> Only B works, and configuration property "ranger.admin.kerberos.token.valid.seconds" is meaningless for REST-API.
>  
> Explains:
>  
> By default, "hadoop.auth" will have a domain set by conf 
> "ranger.admin.kerberos.cookie.domain" which have a default value "" in "ranger-admin-site.xml". So it sets "; Domain= " in http response by the following codelet:
>  
> {code:java}
> if (domain != null) {
>   sb.append("; Domain=").append(domain);
> } {code}
> But "; Domain= "  is invalid in a lot of client systems due to security concerns.
> So, "hadoop.auth" cookie is ignored by them.
> But tomcat will set a session by cookie "RANGERADMINSESSIONID", our client didn't find anything unusual. And session timeout (default 60m)is controlled by web.xml which is not in out conf/ directory. So our defuat conf  ranger.admin.kerberos.token.valid.seconds = 30s (second) is meaningless.
> Unfortunately there is some security risk with session mechanism. Apache Tomcat session timeout mainly occurs due to longer idle sessions.
> So if we auth a client by kerberos, the session mechanism can lead it keep login by ever. Even the kerberos ticket is outdated.
