Security info and tools for Hadoop?


1 Answer(s)


hi Joe,

To enable security for accessing hadoop services, the administrator should enable "Kerberos" security authentication & authorization which is by default supported by Hadoop.

Here are few links which will help you started

http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r2.3.0/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/SecureMode.html
http://www.cloudera.com/content/cloudera-content/cloudera-docs/CDH4/4.6.0/CDH4-Security-Guide/cdh4sg_topic_3.html (Specific for CDH4)

Thanks
