-------------------------------
Summary: hide some sensitive configuration information in the UI
Key: HBASE-27320
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-27320
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: UI
Affects Versions: 3.0.0-alpha-3
Reporter: ruanhui
Assignee: ruanhui
Fix For: 3.0.0-alpha-4
In the discussion about how to store keystore/truststore password securely,
[~bbeaudreault] mentioned and I quote here
"I agree that it seems insecure to put it directly into the hbase-site.xml.
Another reason is due to the RS UI which (helpfully) can print the entire site
configuration. We’d need to make sure the password is excluded from that, but
better to remove it from site xml altogether".
I also felt that some sensitive information was exposed in the UI, for example,
if we set superuser in the hbase-site.xml, the non-admin users can obtain
superuser information and simulate superuser to perform some non-permitted
operations on the cluster. So I think maybe we should hide these sensitive
information in the UI.
