This commit adds support for Kerberos authentication with a platinum
license. Kerberos authentication support relies on SPNEGO, which is
triggered by challenging clients with a 401 response with the
`WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate` header. A SPNEGO client will then provide
a Kerberos ticket in the `Authorization` header. The tickets are
validated using Java's built-in GSS support. The JVM uses a vm wide
configuration for Kerberos, so there can be only one Kerberos realm.
This is enforced by a bootstrap check that also enforces the existence
of the keytab file.
In many cases a fallback authentication mechanism is needed when SPNEGO
authentication is not available. In order to support this, the
DefaultAuthenticationFailureHandler now takes a list of failure response
headers. For example, one realm can provide a
`WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate` header as its default and another could
provide `WWW-Authenticate: Basic` to indicate to the client that basic
authentication can be used in place of SPNEGO.
In order to test Kerberos, unit tests are run against an in-memory KDC
that is backed by an in-memory ldap server. A QA project has also been
added to test against an actual KDC, which is provided by the krb5kdc
fixture.
Closes#30243
This PR introduces a subproject in test/fixtures that contains a Vagrantfile used for standing up a
KRB5 KDC (Kerberos). The PR also includes helper scripts for provisioning principals, a few
changes to the HDFS Fixture to allow it to interface with the KDC, as well as a new suite of
integration tests for the HDFS Repository plugin.
The HDFS Repository plugin senses if the local environment can support the HDFS Fixture
(Windows is generally a restricted environment). If it can use the regular fixture, it then tests if
Vagrant is installed with a compatible version to determine if the secure test fixtures should be
enabled. If the secure tests are enabled, then we create a Kerberos KDC fixture, tasks for adding
the required principals, and an HDFS fixture configured for security. A new integration test task is
also configured to use the KDC and secure HDFS fixture and to run a testing suite that uses
authentication. At the end of the secure integration test the fixtures are torn down.
