Haohui Mai commented on HADOOP-10670:
-------------------------------------
The current behavior of the filter initializer is expected -- it should bail
out if the secret file is unavailable.
I believe the right thing to do is to modify the RM to avoid binding the filter
when it is not in the secure mode.
> Allow AuthenticationFilters to load secret from signature secret files

> In Hadoop web console, by using AuthenticationFilterInitializer, it's allowed
> to configure AuthenticationFilter for the required signature secret by
> specifying signature.secret.file property. This improvement would also allow
> this when AuthenticationFilterInitializer isn't used in situations like
> webhdfs.
