-------------------------------------------

             Summary: Prevent NPE on decrypting a null password
                 Key: RANGER-1965
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-1965
             Project: Ranger
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: admin
            Reporter: Colm O hEigeartaigh
            Assignee: Colm O hEigeartaigh
             Fix For: 1.0.0


If no password is specified, the logs show a NPE:

java.lang.NullPointerException
    at com.sun.jersey.core.util.Base64.decode(Base64.java:324)
    at 
org.apache.ranger.plugin.util.PasswordUtils.decrypt(PasswordUtils.java:126)

Instead, we should only try to decrypt the password if it's not null.
