Vinod K V commented on HADOOP-6568:
-----------------------------------
For the sake of authentication, we can use the framework for web-filters added
by HADOOP-3854.
Once authenticated, we can obtain the identity of the user who logged in by
using the Servlet API {{request.getRemoteUser()}}. Using this and a
configuration for super-users and super-groups we can authorize access to these
servlets. Thoughts?

> We have the following default servlets: /logs, /static, /stacks, /logLevel,
> /metrics, /conf. Barring "/static", rest of the servlets provide information
> that is only for administrators. In the context of security for the
> web-servlets, we need protected access to these pages.
