> PlainSaslServerFactory should allow a null Map in getMechanismNames
> -------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-5294
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5294
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.10.2.1
> Reporter: Bryan Bende
> Assignee: Mickael Maison
> Fix For: 0.11.0.0
>
>
> PlainSaslServerFactory will get a NullPointerException if
> getMechanismNames(Map<String,?> props) is called with a null props map.
> The Java docs for getMechanismNames from the base class
> javax.security.sasl.SaslServerFactory say that the map can be null:
> * @param props The possibly null set of properties used to specify the
> * security policy of the SASL mechanisms.
> A scenario where this causes a problem is when attempting to use a Kafka
> consumer/producer with the PlainLoginModule in the same JVM as a Hadoop
> client with Kerberos...
> The Hadoop client purposely calls getMechanismNames with a null map, so if
> you have already create a Kafka consumer/producer with PlainLoginModule then
> the PlainSaslServerFactory will be registered in the list of providers in
> java.security.Security, and then NPEs when the Hadoop client calls
> getMechanismNames on each provider with a null map.
