I ran this command: accumulo shell -u root -p bad_password
And was connected to the shell. I did not expect this to work. I could run the "tables" command. I could even choose a table to work with. However the scan and insert failed as shown below. root@development> table david root@development david> scan 14 00:18:11,063 [shell.Shell] ERROR: org.apache.accumulo.core.client.AccumuloSecurityException: Error BAD_CREDENTIALS - Username or Password is Invalid root@development david> insert row1 cf1 cq1 value 14 00:18:25,952 [impl.ThriftScanner] WARN : Security Violation in scan request to 66.175.213.65:9997: ThriftSecurityException(user:root, code:BAD_CREDENTIALS) 14 00:18:26,046 [shell.Shell] ERROR: org.apache.accumulo.core.client.MutationsRejectedException: # constraint violations : 0 # authorization failures : 1 # server errors 0 # exceptions 0 The config -T command did work which is probably not good. Am I correct that my initial connection to the shell with an incorrect password should fail? If so, it's JIRA time!
