--------------------------------------
Summary: RPC authentication fallback option should support
enabling fallback only for specific connections.
Key: HADOOP-11701
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11701
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: ipc, security
Reporter: Chris Nauroth
We currently support the {{ipc.client.fallback-to-simple-auth-allowed}}
configuration property so that a client configured with security can fallback
to simple authentication when communicating with an unsecured server. This is
a global property that enables the fallback behavior for all RPC connections,
even though fallback is only desirable for clusters that are known to be
unsecured. This issue proposes to support configurability of fallback on
specific connections, not all connections globally.
