Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-7119:
---------------------------------------

I'm also concerned about not using the hadoop.http.filter.initializers and want to investigate the differences between Alfredo and HttpComponents. If HttpComponents works, that would be better since it is an Apache project and has a community supporting it.

> Currently the JT/NN/DN/TT web-consoles don't support any form of authentication.
> Hadoop RPC API already supports Kerberos authentication.
> Kerberos enables single sign-on.
> Popular browsers (Firefox and Internet Explorer) have support for Kerberos HTTP SPNEGO.
> Adding support for Kerberos HTTP SPNEGO to Hadoop web consoles would provide a unified authentication mechanism and single sign-on for Hadoop web UI and Hadoop RPC.
