---------------------------------------
Summary: Store user database in zookeeper
Key: DRILL-7573
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-7573
Project: Apache Drill
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Server, Web Server
Affects Versions: 1.17.0
Reporter: Dobes Vandermeer
Currently plain login using PAM as its user database. However, in a
containerized or server environment the passwd file is generally kept static,
so some other mechanism for managing users is preferred. Also, pam does not by
default come with an easy to way to check passwords other than via the
passwd/shadow files.
It would be great if there was another authentication method included in drill
that was easier to use in a containerized environment.
Reading the usernames and password from a specific file would probably be the
simplest mechanism. Or perhaps storing the information in the same location as
the storage plugin configuration, which might allow some user management via
the user interface.
