Rakesh R commented on BOOKKEEPER-391: ------------------------------------- I understand your thoughts. Please go ahead with the implementation and prepare an initial patch with this idea. I hope that will help to showcase the changes to the interested folks and will refine it incrementally. > Support Kerberos authentication of bookkeeper > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: BOOKKEEPER-391 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BOOKKEEPER-391 > Project: Bookkeeper > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: bookkeeper-client, bookkeeper-server > Reporter: Rakesh R > Assignee: Enrico Olivelli > > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
