- Application Development Process
  Before you start developing applications on the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric platform, consider how you will get the data into the platform, the storage format of the data, the type of processing or modeling that is required, and how the data will be accessed.
- File Store and Apps
  The following sections provide information about accessing the File Store with C and Java applications.
- HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Database and Apps
  This section contains information about developing client applications for JSON and key-value tables.
- HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Streams and Apps
  HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric Streams brings integrated publish and subscribe messaging to HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric.
- MapReduce and Apps
  This section contains information associated with developing YARN applications.

      - PAM Authentication for HttpFS
      - SSL Security for HttpFS
        Enabling SSL Security for HttpFS
        Enable SSL security for HttpFS using a ssl_keystore and ssl_truststore. These are generated automatically for a secure cluster in /opt/mapr/conf/. When using SSL on insecure clusters, you must manually generate a keystore and truststore.
        Configuring Certificate-Based Authentication for HttpFS
        Starting from EEP 7.1.0, configuration of certificate-based authentication for HttpFS is no longer available. To configure certificate-based authentication for HttpFS, for EEP 7.0.x, you need to make changes to the server.xml and web.xml file and restart the HttpFS server. To use this method, each client requires a client certificate issued by trusted CA.
        Verifying SSL Security for HttpFS
        You need to run curl commands to verify that HTTPS is enabled for HttpFS.
        Enabling SSL Security for HttpFS with Credential Provider
        Starting from EEP-7.1.0, you can enable SSL security for HttpFS with credential provider. The CredentialProvider API is used to separate the use of sensitive tokens, secrets, and passwords from the applications. hadoop credential create command is used to provision a password to a particular credential store provider.

SSL Security for HttpFS

About this task

On a secure cluster, HttpFS uses the secure-by-default configuration. Use the following topics to explicitly enable custom security on HttpFS.

You also need to enable SSL if custom security is enabled.
