Marco Massenzio commented on MESOS-3024:
----------------------------------------
I am unclear about this:

It would be great if there was also such a flag for framework authentication.
{quote}
Is this a typo? ({{--authenticate}} does exactly that)
Looking at
[master/http.cpp|https://github.com/apache/mesos/blob/master/src/master/http.cpp#L375]:
{code}
if (master->flags.authenticate_frameworks) {
return Unauthorized(
"Mesos master",
"HTTP schedulers are not supported when authentication is required");
}
{code}
It seems to me that the HTTP API requires authentication for *all* request
types; and that is required only when {{--authenticate}} is set on the master:
when [master sets the {{credentials}}
flag|https://github.com/apache/mesos/blob/master/src/master/master.cpp#L425]
the former is not touched.
To test this, I launched a Master with {{--credentials}} but no
{{--authenticate}} and then registered a framework via the HTTP API and also
received an offer - it all worked just fine.
I am assuming here that I'm missing something fundamental, can folks please
clarify what the issue is?
Thanks!

> Reporter: Adam B

>
> If I set `--credentials` on the master, framework and slave authentication
> are allowed, but not required. On the other hand, http authentication is now
> required for authenticated endpoints (currently only `/shutdown`). That means
> that I cannot enable framework or slave authentication without also enabling
> http endpoint authentication. This is undesirable.
> Framework and slave authentication have separate flags (`\--authenticate` and
> `\--authenticate_slaves`) to require authentication for each. It would be
> great if there was also such a flag for framework authentication. Or maybe we
> get rid of these flags altogether and rely on ACLs to determine which
> unauthenticated principals are even allowed to authenticate for each
> endpoint/action.
