• Component/s: kms
• Labels: supportability
• Target Version/s: 3.0.0-alpha2
• Hadoop Flags: Incompatible change, Reviewed
• Release Note: kms-audit.log used to show an UNAUTHENTICATED message even for successful operations, because of the OPTIONS HTTP request during SPNEGO initial handshake. This message brings more confusion than help, and has hence been removed.

Description

For a successful kms operation, kms-audit.log shows an UNAUTHENTICATED ErrorMsg:'Authentication required' message before the OK messages. This is expected, and due to the spnego authentication sequence. (Notice method == OPTIONS)

2016-01-31 21:07:04,671 UNAUTHENTICATED RemoteHost:10.0.2.15 Method:OPTIONS URL:https://quickstart.cloudera:16000/kms/v1/keyversion/ZJfn4lfNXxy068gqEmhxRCFljzoKEKDDR9ZJLO32vqq/_eek?eek_op=decrypt ErrorMsg:'Authentication required'
2016-01-31 21:07:04,911 OK[op=DECRYPT_EEK, key=cloudera, user=cloudera, accessCount=1, interval=0ms] 
2016-01-31 21:07:15,104 OK[op=DECRYPT_EEK, key=cloudera, user=cloudera, accessCount=1, interval=10193ms] 

However, admins/auditors see this and can easily get confused/alerted. We should make it obvious this is benign.
