Ivan Kelly commented on ZOOKEEPER-1045:
---------------------------------------

{quote}Two concerns that I have are , is it architecturally ok to enforce ZK to 
talk to an external server(perhaps on regular intervals) to form a quorum and 
if that is ok then is this the most widely used/requested feature by 
users.{quote}

The patch already supports DIGEST-MD5, so Krb isn't required to have auth.

Encryption of the links is a separate concern, and shouldn't be done as part of 
this change. There's already a JIRA for it (ZOOKEEPER-1000).

> ZOOKEEPER-938 addresses mutual authentication between clients and servers. 
> This bug, on the other hand, is for authentication among quorum peers. 
> Hopefully much of the work done on SASL integration with Zookeeper for 
> ZOOKEEPER-938 can be used as a foundation for this enhancement.
