It currently has two valid settings. The protobuf in the name refers to the new client protocol (which we're calling the protobuf protocol). I don't think we're quite ready to take the feature flag out yet, but we should consider it as this feature nears alpha. Or moving the feature flag to a better config mechanism (DistributionConfig), so that this property and that one are in approximately the same place. > Implement a basic authentication mechanism for the new protocol > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: GEODE-3412 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-3412 > Project: Geode > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: client/server > Reporter: Brian Rowe > > Implement a simple username/password authentication for the new protocol. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
