Hudson commented on HADOOP-11748: --------------------------------- FAILURE: Integrated in Hadoop-trunk-Commit #7444 (See [https://builds.apache.org/job/Hadoop-trunk-Commit/7444/]) HADOOP-11748. The secrets of auth cookies should not be specified in configuration in clear text. Contributed by Li Lu and Haohui Mai.

The property is used to pass the secret internally. The way it > works before HADOOP-10868 is the following: > * Users specify the initializer of the authentication filter in the > configuration. > * AuthenticationFilterInitializer reads the secret file. The server will not > start if the secret file does not exists. The initializer will set the > property if it read the file correctly. > *There is no way to specify the secret in the configuration out-of-the-box – > the secret is always overwritten by AuthenticationFilterInitializer. > {quote} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
