             Summary: force authentication/authorization
                 Key: ZOOKEEPER-2462
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-2462
             Project: ZooKeeper
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: server
            Reporter: Botond Hejj
            Priority: Minor


This change introduces two new config options to force authorization and 
authentication:

1. disableWorldACL
The purpose of this option is disable the builtin mechanism which authorizes 
everyone.
If it is turned on than the world/anyone usage is ignored. ZooKeeper will not 
check operations based on world/anyone.
This option is useful to force some kind of authorization mechanism. This 
restriction is useful in a strictly audited environment.

2. forceAuthentication
If this option is turned on than ZooKeeper won't authorize any operation if the 
user has not authenticated either with SASL or with addAuth.
There is way to enforce SASL authentication but currently there is no way to 
enforce authentication using the plugin mechanism. Enforcing authentication for 
that is more tricky since authentication can come any time later. This option 
doesn't drop the connection if there was no authentication. It is only throwing 
NoAuth for any operation until the Auth packet arrives.
