----------------------------------------
Summary: Add support for libpam4j Pam Authenticator
Key: DRILL-5820
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-5820
Project: Apache Drill
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Sorabh Hamirwasia
Assignee: Sorabh Hamirwasia
Fix For: 1.12.0
Drill uses JPAM as the PAM authenticator module for username/password
verification for PLAIN mechanism. There are some known issues with JPAM which
leads to JVM crash and memory leaks. JPAM also requires a manual step in
copying the native library.
Also based on the [HIVE-16529|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-16529]
there have been mention of these issues with JPAM which is resolved in the
libpam4j. Also libpam4j avoids the need to install native library explicitly.
It would be good to provide support for libpam4j in Drill to avoid these issues.
Some other reported problems with JPAM:
