-------------------------------------
Summary: SASL implementation checks for unused System property
java.security.auth.login.config
Key: KAFKA-3279
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3279
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Bug
Components: security
Reporter: Rajini Sivaram
Assignee: Rajini Sivaram
In many environments (eg. JEE containers), JAAS configuration may be set using
methods different from the System property {{java.security.auth.login.config}}.
While Kafka obtains JAAS configuration correctly using
{{Configuration.getConfiguration()}}, an exception is thrown if the System
property {{java.security.auth.login.config}} is not set even when the property
is never used. There are also misleading error messages which refer to the
value of this property which may or may not be the configuration for which the
error is being reported.
