Verifying SSL Security for HttpFS

You need to run curl commands to verify that HTTPS is enabled for HttpFS.

Procedure

Run one of the following curl commands to check that HTTPS is enabled. These commands fetch the file some_file.txt from the file system under /user/mapr and attempt to open it securely over HTTPS.
  • To check if HTTPS is enabled, run the following command
    • curl -u <user_name> -k 
 "https://<node_name>:14000/webhdfs/v1/user/mapr/some_file.txt?op=open"
  • If you configured Hue to use SSL encryption with certificate-based authentication for communication with HttpFS, run the following command 
    • curl -u <user_name> -k 
 --cert /opt/mapr/hue/hue-<version>/cert.pem  
 --key /opt/mapr/hue/hue-<version>/hue_private_keystore.pem 
 "https://<node_name>:14000/webhdfs/v1/user/mapr/some_file.txt?op=open"
