Getting Started with MapR Security
Describes two core scenarios that allow quick implementation of security features.
To set up an initial secure cluster for MapR Core using minimal security:
- Enable wire-level security by running
configure.sh
. See Enabling Wire-level Security. - Generate MapR user tickets to authenticate with your username and password. See the
maprlogin password
command in Generating a MapR User Ticket. - Decide which Ecosystem components to secure and with which authentication method. See the MapRy Security Support Matrix.
- Configure each Ecosystem component with the appropriate authentication method. See the sections for individual Ecosystem components in the Ecosystem Components.
- (Optional) Turn on auditing for directories that contain sensitive data.
- (Optional) Enable authorization using ACEs for files, tables, streams, or volumes and ACLs for administrative activities that can be performed on the cluster.
- (Optional) Enable impersonation.
NOTE: If you wish to implement Ecosystem compenent security, see the sections for individual
Ecosystem components in the Ecosystem Components and the
MapR Security Support Matrix.
