ctubbsii opened a new pull request, #3360: URL: https://github.com/apache/accumulo/pull/3360
Remove checks and code related to the old password hashing mechanism in Accumulo. This will discontinue warnings about users passwords that are still out of date. Instead, those outdated passwords will simply become invalid. If the user authenticated to Accumulo at any time prior to upgrading, their password will have been converted. So this only affects accounts that were never used with 2.1 at all. As mitigation, such users will be able to have their password reset by the root user. If the root user never authenticated (and neither had another admin user) while on 2.1 (very very unlikely), an administrator can reset the entire user database through the normal init step to reset security. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
