Juan Yu reassigned HADOOP-10710:
--------------------------------
Assignee: Juan Yu
> hadoop.auth cookie is not properly constructed according to RFC2109
> -------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-10710
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10710
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: security
> Affects Versions: 2.4.0
> Reporter: Alejandro Abdelnur
> Assignee: Juan Yu
>
> It seems that HADOOP-10379 introduced a bug on how hadoop.auth cookies are
> being constructed.
> Before HADOOP-10379, cookies were constructed using Servlet's {{Cookie}}
> class and corresponding {{HttpServletResponse}} methods. This was taking care
> of setting attributes like 'Version=1' and double-quoting the cookie value if
> necessary.
> HADOOP-10379 changed the Cookie creation to use a {{StringBuillder}} and
> setting values and attributes by hand. This is not taking care of setting
> required attributes like Version and escaping the cookie value.
> While this is not breaking HadoopAuth {{AuthenticatedURL}} access, it is
> breaking access done using {{HtttpClient}}. I.e. Solr uses HttpClient and its
> access is broken since this change.
> It seems that HADOOP-10379 main objective was to set the 'secure' attribute.
> Note this can be done using the {{Cookie}} API.
> We should revert the cookie creation logic to use the {{Cookie}} API and take
> care of the security flag via {{setSecure(boolean)}}.
