Adam B commented on MESOS-1966:
-------------------------------
I'm looking forward to a future where Mesos doesn't require libsasl to build,
and you can build (and dynamically load) an authenticator module (sasl or
otherwise) if desired. Clearly, the --authenticate_whatever flags should error
if there are no authenticator modules present/loadable. I like the idea of (3),
since it keeps the command-line parameters backwards-compatible, but would like
to hear others' thoughts. [[email protected]]?

> There are some options we quickly need to decide upon:
> 1. Keep the currently existing authenticator {{sasl/authenticator.hpp}}
> within {{libmesos}} as a default implementation. Add the {{--authenticators}}
> flag to the master and if the user selects {{crammd5}}, use the linked in,
> default implementation. If the user selects a different name e.g.
> {{org_apache_mesos_authenticator_pam}}, the master will try to load a module
> with that name and use its implementation. This is somewhat similar to what
> Kapil has done with the Isolator module integration.
> 2. Make the currently existing authenticator become a module and thereby
> remove it from libmesos. Add the {{--authenticators}} flag to the master and
> ask the user to supply a module as well ( {{--modules}} ).
> 3. Mixture of 1. and 2. Difference to 2. would be that we load the
> authenticator module implicitly (without the user supplying the {{--modules}}
> flag) as soon as he has enabled any kind of authentication (
> {{--authenticate_slaves}} / {{--authenticate_frameworks}} ).
