Enrico Olivelli commented on BOOKKEEPER-391:
--------------------------------------------
maybe we can add a generic support for SASL and then add support for GSSAPI,
which requires some more coding
> Support Kerberos authentication of bookkeeper

> This JIRA to discuss authentication mechanism of bookie clients and server.
> Assume ZK provides fully secured communication channel using Kerberos based
> authentication and authorization model. We could also manage and renew users
> authenticated to BK via Kerberos. There is currently no configuration or
> hooks for the Bookie process to obtain Kerberos credentials.
> Today an unauthenticated bookie client can easily establish connection with
> the bookkeeper server.
