authentication
URL: https://github.com/apache/drill/pull/1977#issuecomment-584926786
@paul-rogers I added some tests and cleaned up the logic slightly. I didn't
add tests for the REST API, since the password logic is shared between both
systems I don't think this requires separate testing. I couldn't figure out a
sane way to test the stuff related to the default file and I didn't do anything
related to loading the file from the classpath, I think that might be more than
I am capable of with the time budget I have for this task right now. I welcome
edits to the PR to implement that, but it didn't seem to be easy enough for me
to justify spending hours on it when it's not really a very useful or important
feature - I doubt anyone will use the default path in a real life situation, I
just threw that in there as a minor convenience for testing purposes.

> Support text file for user authentication instead of using PAM
> --------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DRILL-7573
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-7573
> Project: Apache Drill
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Server, Web Server
> Affects Versions: 1.17.0
> Reporter: Dobes Vandermeer
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently plain login using PAM as its user database. However, in a
> containerized or server environment the passwd file is generally kept static,
> so some other mechanism for managing users is preferred. Also, pam does not
> by default come with an easy to way to check passwords other than via the
> passwd/shadow files.
> It would be great if there was another authentication method included in
> drill that was easier to use in a containerized environment.
> Reading the usernames and password from a specific file would probably be the
> simplest mechanism.
