--------------------------------------

Hi [~lukmajercak] - can you explain why the current implementation which is 
aligned with other previously configured passwords doesn't meet your needs?

Changing the behavior to use the value of the property rather than the key of 
the property as the alias definitely makes it different from other properties 
and it doesn't seem to even preserve the ability to use the key.

> LdapGroupsMapping should use the bind.password config value as credential 
> alias

> Currently, the property name hadoop.security.group.mapping.ldap.bind.password 
> is used as an alias to get password from CredentialProviders. This has a big 
> issue, which is that when we configure multiple LdapGroupsMapping providers 
> through CompositeGroupsMapping, they will all have the same alias, and won't 
> be able to be distinguished. The proposal is to use the value of the property 
> instead, which would fix this issue.
