-------------------------------------
Summary: Make Hadoop Authentication Handler loads case in-sensitive
Key: HADOOP-10665
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10665
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: security
Reporter: Benoy Antony
Assignee: Benoy Antony
Priority: Minor
The authentication mechanism for http specified via
_hadoop.http.authentication.type_ is matched in in a case sensitive way. If one
specifies the type {simpe,kerberos} in the wrong case, the following exception
is thrown .
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Simple

... 24 more
I believe , it is safe to ignore case during this comparison.
