Udo Kohlmeyer reassigned GEODE-3739: ------------------------------------ Assignee: Galen O'Sullivan > Amend current protocol Username / password to mimic the current > SecurityManager implementation > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: GEODE-3739 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-3739 > Project: Geode > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: client/server > Reporter: Udo Kohlmeyer > Assignee: Galen O'Sullivan > > The current implementation of the simple username password authentication has > a very specific message. The SimpleUsernamePassword authentication class then > processes that messages and populates very specific properties and passes > that through to the SecurityManager. > Given that the securityManager implementation is custom this approach is very > limiting. The new implementation would need to better mimic the generic > properties that are passed through without having to manually set any > properties. > A suggestion is to use a more generic Properties-based authenticator, that > will take the properties that a client sets and pass them through directly to > the SecurityManager without interfering with the message other than > deserializing it from a hash into properties. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
