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) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-4791 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4791 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: security, zookeeper > Reporter: Eugene Koontz > Assignee: Eugene Koontz > Labels: security, zookeeper > Attachments: HBASE-4791-v0.patch > > > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
