5 Pillars of Security
•  Authentication
•  Authorization
•  Audit
•  Encryption
•  Centralized Administration
Page 6 © Hortonworks Inc. 2015
Security Tools in Hadoop world
•  Kerberos (authentication)
•  Apache Knox (authentication)
•  AD/LDAP (authentication)
•  Apache Ranger (authorization, audit, kms)
•  HDFS TDE (data encryption)
•  Wire Encryption (data protection)

Ranger UserSync Best Practice
21
•  Ensure LDAPS is used to integrate with Ranger
•  Create OU ONLY for Hadoop users for performance
•  Only run usersync when necessary
– How much users are being added and how often
– How much users are changing roles
– Too much syncing can degrade LDAP performance
•  Do not sync anonymously
Page 22 © Hortonworks Inc. 2015
Ranger Audit Best Practices
22
•  HDFS
– Long term storage that can be used to understand user event
trends and predict anomaly
•  RDBMS
– When SQL is preferred by auditors
– MySQL, Oracle, Postgres, SQL Server
•  Solr
– Nice quick reporting metrics to understand user event trends
•  Log4j Appenders
Page 23 © Hortonworks Inc. 2015
Ranger Stacks
•  Apache Ranger v0.5 supports stack-model to enable easier onboarding
of new components, without requiring code changes in Apache Ranger.
Ranger Side Changes
Define Service-type
Secured Components Side Changes
Develop Ranger Authorization Plugin
•  Create a JSON file with
following details :
- Resources
- Access types
- Config to connect
•  Load the JSON into Ranger.
•  Include plugin library in the secure component.
•  During initialization of the service: Init
RangerBasePlugIn & RangerDefaultAuditHandler class.
•  To authorize access to a resource: Use
RangerAccessRequest.isAccessAllowed()
•  To support resource lookup: Implement
RangerBaseService.lookupResource() &
RangerBaseService.validateConfig()

Page 24 © Hortonworks Inc. 2015
Summary & Misc. points
24
•  All functions are available as Rest API
•  Ranger integrates with AD/LDAP for ranger login as well as user sync.
•  Support for High Availability (HA)
•  Support for Transparent Data Encryption with KMS implementation
•  Tighter integration with Apache Ambari
•  Stack based implementation of Plugins
•  Ranger also has the KMS for HDFS TDE.
•  Some features in development are
–  Spark support
–  Time based authorization
–  Geo Location based authorization
