---------------------------------------
Summary: AuthInitializer should be made optional
Key: GEODE-1883
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-1883
Project: Geode
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: security
Reporter: Swapnil Bawaskar
{{AuthInitializer}} is the interface that a client must implement that provides
credentials that are verified by the server. The same interface is also used
for peer authentication.
In order to configure {{AuthInitialize}} any Geode property starting with
{{security-}} is passed through to the {{AuthInitialize.getCredentials}} method.
For simple authentication where only a username and a password are required,
users should not really be required to implement the AuthInitialize interface
in the presence of property passthrough.
Geode should detect {{security-username}} and {{security-password}} properties
in gemfire.security OR gfsecurity.properties file and use those for
authentication.
