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
path 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 don't think the "default path" is particularly import
nor is it particularly prone to regressions.
I didn't attempt tests related to logging, it just doesn't seem worth it.
I'm not so familiar with the project that I can make a test like that in a
reasonable amount of time. Perhaps someone core to the team can add that if it
seems important.

> 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.
