> [thxs ATM for point this one out]
> Alfredo configuration currently is stored in the core-site.xml file, this
> file is readable by users (it must be as Configuration defaults must be
> loaded).
> One of Alfredo config values is a secret which is used by all nodes to
> sign/verify the authentication cookie.

> other users.
> Because of this the Alfredo configuration, should be move to a user
> non-readable file.
