The SSO authentication provider is used by the UIs using the Knox SSO capabilities, such
as the Home Page UI.
The API authentication provider is used by predefined topologies, such as
admin, metadata or
cdp-proxy-api.
You can add or modify new or existing shared provider configurations.
You can save aliases using a new Knox Gateway command.
Services
You can enable or disable known or custom services in Knox proxy via Cloudera Manager.
There are two kinds of services in cdp-proxy:
Known: officially-supported Knox services. Cloudera Manager provides
and manages all the required service definition files.
Custom: unofficial, tech preview, or community feature Knox services. You must supply
the service definition files (service.xml and
rewrite.xml) that exist in the
$CDP_PARCEL_DIR/lib/knox/data/services folder. These are not
recommended for production environments, and not supported by Cloudera.
Service parameters
You can add, modify, or remove custom service parameters in Knox proxy via Cloudera Manager.
