Laxman commented on HBASE-4791:
-------------------------------
IMO, this requires a fix in zookeeper as it expects JAAS configuration provided
as a system property in ZooKeeperSaslClient. Changing that may not be so easy
due to following reason.
* ZooKeeper client doesn't expect any configuration. It just needs a quorum
string. So, introducing a configuration may introduce compatability issue.
I filed a similar hard-coding related issue ZOOKEEPER-1467.
> Allow Secure Zookeeper JAAS configuration to be programmatically set (rather
> than only by reading JAAS configuration file)

> In the currently proposed fix for HBASE-2418, there must be a JAAS file
> specified in System.setProperty("java.security.auth.login.config").
> However, it might be preferable to construct a JAAS configuration
> programmatically, as is done with secure Hadoop (see
> https://github.com/apache/hadoop-common/blob/a48eceb62c9b5c1a5d71ee2945d9eea2ed62527b/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/security/UserGroupInformation.java#L175).
> This would have the benefit of avoiding a usage of a system property setting,
> and allow instead an HBase-local configuration setting.
