Rakesh R commented on ZOOKEEPER-1045:
-------------------------------------
Thank you [~yufeldman] for the comments.
I have created {{SecurityUtils}} to avoid code duplication. Like you know, the
idea of my jira is to provide authentication among Zookeeper servers using
SASL(Kerberos/Digest) mechanism. IIUC the idea of ZOOKEEPER-2159 is to "extend
the existing client-server authentication infrastructure by supporting more
auths". I couldn't see any dependency between these jiras apart from touching
common code base. I feel both the jira tasks can go parallely, because both are
proposing two different ideas. Any of the jira can be committed first based on
the community votes +1s. That way we get chance to accelerate multiple
imprv/feature developments and add more imprvs/features to ZooKeeper project
simulataneously. The jira which is going second needs to refactor their code on
top of the first because both are touching common code {{SaslServer}} and
{{SaslClient}} classes. It doesn't mean that they both are dependent, right?
[~yufeldman], appreciate your effort. I will try to find some time in the
coming week and help in pushing your idea in.

> 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.
