Marco Massenzio commented on MESOS-3560:
----------------------------------------
cc: [~adam-mesos]
I think the reasoning behind using a {{bytes}} field instead of a {{string}}
was to enable other modules to use auth secrets, other than just passwords (eg,
Tokens, keys, etc.)
At least according to Adam's [MesosCon
presentation|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3sn1OLYDOE].
> JSON-based credential files do not work correctly

> Project: Mesos
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: master
> Reporter: Michael Park

> Specifying the following credentials file:
> {code}
> {
> “credentials”: [
> {
> “principal”: “user”,
> “secret”: “password”
> }
> ]
> }
> {code}
> Then hitting a master endpoint with:
> {code}
> curl -i -u “user:password” ...
> {code}
> Does not work. This is contrary to the text-based credentials file which
> works:
> {code}
> user password
> {code}
> Currently, the password in a JSON-based credentials file needs to be
> base64-encoded in order for it to work:
> {code}
> {
> “credentials”: [
> {
> “principal”: “user”,
> “secret”: “cGFzc3dvcmQ=”
> }
> ]
> }
> {code}
