Hadoop in Secure Mode

* Introduction

  This document describes how to configure authentication for Hadoop in
  secure mode.

  By default Hadoop runs in non-secure mode in which no actual
  authentication is required.
  By configuring Hadoop runs in secure mode,
  each user and service needs to be authenticated by Kerberos
  in order to use Hadoop services.

  Security features of Hadoop consist of
  {{{Authentication}authentication}},
  {{{./ServiceLevelAuth.html}service level authorization}},
  {{{./HttpAuthentication.html}authentication for Web consoles}}
  and {{{Data confidentiality}data confidenciality}}.


* Authentication

** End User Accounts

  When service level authentication is turned on,
  end users using Hadoop in secure mode needs to be authenticated by Kerberos.
  The simplest way to do authentication is using <<<kinit>>> command of Kerberos.

** User Accounts for Hadoop Daemons

  Ensure that HDFS and YARN daemons run as different Unix users,
  e.g. <<<hdfs>>> and <<<yarn>>>.
  Also, ensure that the MapReduce JobHistory server runs as
  different user such as <<<mapred>>>.

  It's recommended to have them share a Unix group, for e.g. <<<hadoop>>>.
  See also "{{Mapping from user to group}}" for group management.

*---------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
|| User:Group   || Daemons                                                             |
*---------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| hdfs:hadoop   | NameNode, Secondary NameNode, JournalNode, DataNode                  |
*---------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| yarn:hadoop   | ResourceManager, NodeManager                                         |
*---------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| mapred:hadoop | MapReduce JobHistory Server                                          |

** Kerberos principals for Hadoop Daemons and Users

  For running hadoop service daemons in  Hadoop in secure mode,
  Kerberos principals are required.
  Each service reads auhenticate information saved in keytab file with appropriate permission.

  HTTP web-consoles should be served by principal different from RPC's one.

  Subsections below shows the examples of credentials for Hadoop services.

** Mapping from Kerberos principal to OS user account

  Hadoop maps Kerberos principal to OS user account using
  the rule specified by <<<hadoop.security.auth_to_local>>>
  which works in the same way as the <<<auth_to_local>>> in
  {{{http://web.mit.edu/Kerberos/krb5-latest/doc/admin/conf_files/krb5_conf.html}Kerberos configuration file (krb5.conf)}}.
  In addition, Hadoop <<<auth_to_local>>> mapping supports the <</L>> flag that
  lowercases the returned name.

  By default, it picks the first component of principal name as a user name
  if the realms matches to the <<<default_realm>>> (usually defined in /etc/krb5.conf).
  For example, <<<host/full.qualified.domain.name@REALM.TLD>>> is mapped to <<<host>>>
  by default rule.

** Mapping from user to group

  Though files on HDFS are associated to owner and group,
  Hadoop does not have the definition of group by itself.
  Mapping from user to group is done by OS or LDAP.

  You can change a way of mapping by
  specifying the name of mapping provider as a value of
  <<<hadoop.security.group.mapping>>>
  See {{{../hadoop-hdfs/HdfsPermissionsGuide.html}HDFS Permissions Guide}} for details.

  Practically you need to manage SSO environment using Kerberos with LDAP
  for Hadoop in secure mode.

** Proxy user

  Some products such as Apache Oozie which access the services of Hadoop
  on behalf of end users need to be able to impersonate end users.
  You can configure proxy user using properties
  <<<hadoop.proxyuser.${superuser}.hosts>>> along with either or both of 
  <<<hadoop.proxyuser.${superuser}.groups>>>
  and <<<hadoop.proxyuser.${superuser}.users>>>.

  For example, by specifying as below in core-site.xml,
  user named <<<oozie>>> accessing from any host
  can impersonate any user belonging to any group.

----
  <property>
    <name>hadoop.proxyuser.oozie.hosts</name>
    <value>*</value>
  </property>
  <property>
    <name>hadoop.proxyuser.oozie.groups</name>
    <value>*</value>
  </property>
----

  User named <<<oozie>>> accessing from any host
  can impersonate user1 and user2 by specifying as below in core-site.xml.

----
  <property>
    <name>hadoop.proxyuser.oozie.hosts</name>
    <value>*</value>
  </property>
  <property>
    <name>hadoop.proxyuser.oozie.users</name>
    <value>user1,user2</value>
  </property>
----

  The <<<hadoop.proxyuser.${superuser}.hosts>>> accepts list of ip addresses,
  ip address ranges in CIDR format and/or host names.
  
  For example, by specifying as below in core-site.xml,
  user named <<<oozie>>> accessing from hosts in the range 
  10.222.0.0-15 and 10.113.221.221
  can impersonate any user belonging to any group.
  
  ----
  <property>
    <name>hadoop.proxyuser.oozie.hosts</name>
    <value>10.222.0.0/16,10.113.221.221</value>
  </property>
  <property>
    <name>hadoop.proxyuser.oozie.groups</name>
    <value>*</value>
  </property>
----

** Secure DataNode

  Because the data transfer protocol of DataNode
  does not use the RPC framework of Hadoop,
  DataNode must authenticate itself by
  using privileged ports which are specified by
  <<<dfs.datanode.address>>> and <<<dfs.datanode.http.address>>>.
  This authentication is based on the assumption
  that the attacker won't be able to get root privileges.

  When you execute <<<hdfs datanode>>> command as root,
  server process binds privileged port at first,
  then drops privilege and runs as the user account specified by
  <<<HADOOP_SECURE_DN_USER>>>.
  This startup process uses jsvc installed to <<<JSVC_HOME>>>.
  You must specify <<<HADOOP_SECURE_DN_USER>>> and <<<JSVC_HOME>>>
  as environment variables on start up (in hadoop-env.sh).


* Data confidentiality

** Data Encryption on RPC

  The data transfered between hadoop services and clients.
  Setting <<<hadoop.rpc.protection>>> to <<<"privacy">>> in the core-site.xml
  activate data encryption.

** Data Encryption on Block data transfer.

  You need to set <<<dfs.encrypt.data.transfer>>> to <<<"true">>> in the hdfs-site.xml
  in order to activate data encryption for data transfer protocol of DataNode.

** Data Encryption on HTTP

  Data transfer between Web-console and clients are protected by using SSL(HTTPS).


* Configuration

** Permissions for both HDFS and local fileSystem paths

  The following table lists various paths on HDFS and local filesystems (on
  all nodes) and recommended permissions:

** Configuration for WebAppProxy

    The <<<WebAppProxy>>> provides a proxy between the web applications
    exported by an application and an end user.  If security is enabled
    it will warn users before accessing a potentially unsafe web application.
    Authentication and authorization using the proxy is handled just like
    any other privileged web application.

*-------------------------+-------------------------+------------------------+

| <<<yarn.web-proxy.address>>> | | |
| | <<<WebAppProxy>>> host:port for proxy to AM web apps. | |
| | | <host:port> if this is the same as <<<yarn.resourcemanager.webapp.address>>>|
| | | or it is not defined then the <<<ResourceManager>>> will run the proxy|
| | | otherwise a standalone proxy server will need to be launched.|

** LinuxContainerExecutor

    A <<<ContainerExecutor>>> used by YARN framework which define how any
    <container> launched and controlled.

    The following are the available in Hadoop YARN:

*--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
|| ContainerExecutor                   || Description                         |
*--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| <<<DefaultContainerExecutor>>>             | |
| | The default executor which YARN uses to manage container execution. |
| | The container process has the same Unix user as the NodeManager.  |
*--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| <<<LinuxContainerExecutor>>>               | |
| | Supported only on GNU/Linux, this executor runs the containers as either the |
| | YARN user who submitted the application (when full security is enabled) or |
| | as a dedicated user (defaults to nobody) when full security is not enabled. |
| | When full security is enabled, this executor requires all user accounts to be |
| | created on the cluster nodes where the containers are launched. It uses |
| | a <setuid> executable that is included in the Hadoop distribution. |
| | The NodeManager uses this executable to launch and kill containers. |
| | The setuid executable switches to the user who has submitted the |
| | application and launches or kills the containers. For maximum security, |
| | this executor sets up restricted permissions and user/group ownership of |
| | local files and directories used by the containers such as the shared |
| | objects, jars, intermediate files, log files etc. Particularly note that, |
| | because of this, except the application owner and NodeManager, no other |
| | user can access any of the local files/directories including those |
| | localized as part of the distributed cache. |
*--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+

    To build the LinuxContainerExecutor executable run:

----
 $ mvn package -Dcontainer-executor.conf.dir=/etc/hadoop/
----

    The path passed in <<<-Dcontainer-executor.conf.dir>>> should be the
    path on the cluster nodes where a configuration file for the setuid
    executable should be located. The executable should be installed in
    $HADOOP_YARN_HOME/bin.

    The executable must have specific permissions: 6050 or --Sr-s---
    permissions user-owned by <root> (super-user) and group-owned by a
    special group (e.g. <<<hadoop>>>) of which the NodeManager Unix user is
    the group member and no ordinary application user is. If any application
    user belongs to this special group, security will be compromised. This
    special group name should be specified for the configuration property
    <<<yarn.nodemanager.linux-container-executor.group>>> in both
    <<<conf/yarn-site.xml>>> and <<<conf/container-executor.cfg>>>.

    For example, let's say that the NodeManager is run as user <yarn> who is
    part of the groups users and <hadoop>, any of them being the primary group.
    Let also be that <users> has both <yarn> and another user
    (application submitter) <alice> as its members, and <alice> does not
    belong to <hadoop>. Going by the above description, the setuid/setgid
    executable should be set 6050 or --Sr-s--- with user-owner as <yarn> and
    group-owner as <hadoop> which has <yarn> as its member (and not <users>
    which has <alice> also as its member besides <yarn>).

    The LinuxTaskController requires that paths including and leading up to
    the directories specified in <<<yarn.nodemanager.local-dirs>>> and
    <<<yarn.nodemanager.log-dirs>>> to be set 755 permissions as described
    above in the table on permissions on directories.

      * <<<conf/container-executor.cfg>>>

    The executable requires a configuration file called
    <<<container-executor.cfg>>> to be present in the configuration
    directory passed to the mvn target mentioned above.

    The configuration file must be owned by the user running NodeManager
    (user <<<yarn>>> in the above example), group-owned by anyone and
    should have the permissions 0400 or r--------.

    The executable requires following configuration items to be present
    in the <<<conf/container-executor.cfg>>> file. The items should be
    mentioned as simple key=value pairs, one per-line:

*-------------------------+-------------------------+------------------------+
|| Parameter              || Value                  || Notes                 |
*-------------------------+-------------------------+------------------------+
| <<<yarn.nodemanager.linux-container-executor.group>>> | <hadoop> | |
| | | Unix group of the NodeManager. The group owner of the |
| | |<container-executor> binary should be this group. Should be same as the |
| | | value with which the NodeManager is configured. This configuration is |
| | | required for validating the secure access of the <container-executor> |
| | | binary. |
*-------------------------+-------------------------+------------------------+
| <<<banned.users>>> | hfds,yarn,mapred,bin | Banned users. |
*-------------------------+-------------------------+------------------------+
| <<<allowed.system.users>>> | foo,bar | Allowed system users. |
*-------------------------+-------------------------+------------------------+
| <<<min.user.id>>> | 1000 | Prevent other super-users. |
*-------------------------+-------------------------+------------------------+
Configuration for  <<<conf/yarn-site.xml>>>

      To re-cap, here are the local file-sysytem permissions required for the
      various paths related to the <<<LinuxContainerExecutor>>>:

*-------------------+-------------------+------------------+------------------+
|| Filesystem       || Path             || User:Group      || Permissions     |
*-------------------+-------------------+------------------+------------------+
| local | container-executor | root:hadoop | --Sr-s--- |
*-------------------+-------------------+------------------+------------------+
| local | <<<conf/container-executor.cfg>>> | root:hadoop | r-------- |
*-------------------+-------------------+------------------+------------------+
| local | <<<yarn.nodemanager.local-dirs>>> | yarn:hadoop | drwxr-xr-x |
*-------------------+-------------------+------------------+------------------+
