Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-11810:
----------------------------------------
bq. Yep - branch-2 should work.
How do I know the reflective parts of the test engaged? I think some DEBUG
level logging would be helpful. I will fix the log4j configuration problem wrt.
unit tests in hbase-common right now, see HBASE-11856

> HADOOP-10607 introduced the credential provider API for allowing passwords
> and other sensitive configuration items to be stored in an external provider.
> RESTServer is accessing passwords stored in clear text in Configuration
> through the standard get() method. By using the new Configuration.getPassword
> method instead, the credential provider API will be checked first then fall
> back to clear text - when allowed.
