Authentication on Secure Clusters for HttpFS
In secure clusters, HttpFS can use any of the following authentication methods:
- HttpFS authentication, such as native security (MapR-SASL)
- Kerberos (for which additional configuration is required)
- Plain security using PAM, which is determined automatically
In a secure cluster, HttpFS runs a script to set the following properties by default. In a
non-secure cluster, you must add the following properties manually to the
httpfs-site.xml
