-----------------------------------------
Summary: Use Hadoop CredentialProvider API to encyrpt passwords at
rest
Key: SQOOP-1471
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-1471
Project: Sqoop
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.4.5, 1.4.4
Environment: Hadoop 2.6.0+
Reporter: Venkat Ranganathan
Assignee: Venkat Ranganathan
Fix For: 1.4.6
HADOOP-10607 introduces an API to isolate password Storage from applications.
This can be used to provide the DB password in a secure fashion to Sqoop users.
The DB passwords can be assigned an alias and stored in a keystore and the
alias can be provided to Sqoop.
Option to provide the password on the command line (using --password-alias)
option can be introduced as well as enhance the secure file option that we
currently have to provide a new password loader that resolves the alias from
keystore.
We need to detect the availability of the Credential Provider feature and use
it and fail gracefully otherwise
