Hi Konstantin, There's probably a misunderstanding here.
I fully agree that storing passwords in config files is a bad thing,
so I proposed in HADOOP-15325 to add an option to NOT getting passwords in the
config. Once HADOOP-15325 is in, I can update this patch and that it won't read
passwords from config files, but from credential files.
Or, make Configuration#getPasswordFromCredentialProviders() public instead of
protected. That way I can update this patch to call
Configuration#getPasswordFromCredentialProviders() to read from credential
files.

> In a secure environment, SSL is used to encrypt LDAP request for group
> mapping resolution.
> We (+[~yoderme], +[~tgrayson]) have found that its implementation is strange.
> For information, Hadoop name node, as an LDAP client, talks to a LDAP server
> to resolve the group mapping of a user. In the case of LDAP over SSL, a
> typical scenario is to establish one-way authentication (the client verifies
> the server's certificate is real) by storing the server's certificate in the
> client's truststore.
> A rarer scenario is to establish two-way authentication: in addition to store
> truststore for the client to verify the server, the server also verifies the
> client's certificate is real, and the client stores its own certificate in
> its keystore.
> However, the current implementation for LDAP over SSL does not seem to be
> correct in that it only configures keystore but no truststore (so LDAP server
> can verify Hadoop's certificate, but Hadoop may not be able to verify LDAP
> server's certificate)
> I think there should an extra pair of properties to specify the
> truststore/password for LDAP server, and use that to configure system
> properties {{javax.net.ssl.trustStore}}/{{javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword}}
> I am a security layman so my words can be imprecise. But I hope this makes
> sense.
