----------------------------------
Assignee: Jinmei Liao
> 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
> Assignee: Jinmei Liao
>
> {{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.
