-------------------------------------------
Summary: Underscore in password causes problems
Key: ACCUMULO-3736
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3736
Project: Accumulo
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Christopher Tubbs
A user reported that they were unable to authenticate to Accumulo (1.4.x) after
setting a password which contained an underscore.
Steps the user performed:
# Create new user in the shell using root
# Set password, containing underscore on this new user
# Switch to that user in the shell, it worked
# Log in to the shell directly, using "-p" on the shell's command-line did not
work
# Using the Java API did not work
The failure was "BAD_CREDENTIALS".
I suspect he experienced some strange platform encoding issue with how we
serialize passwords to byte arrays internally, but this needs further
verification (especially to check to see if it applies to more recent versions).
