Implementing Web Application Security

The Knox Gateway is a Web API (REST) Gateway for Hadoop clusters. REST interactions are HTTP based, and therefore the interactions are vulnerable to a number of web application security vulnerabilities. The web application security provider allows you to configure protection filter plugins.

[Note]Note

The initial vulnerability protection filter is for Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF). Others will be added in future releases.
