Robert Kanter updated OOZIE-1458:
---------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 4.1.0
> If a Credentials type is not defined, Oozie should say something
> ----------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: OOZIE-1458
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-1458
> Project: Oozie
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: security
> Affects Versions: trunk
> Reporter: Robert Kanter

> If you use the Credentials Module and define a {{<credentials>}} section like
> this:
> {code:xml}
> <credentials>
> <credential name='woot' type='hcat'>
> <property>
> ...
> </property>
> </credential>
> </credentials>
> {code}
> but you didn't add a credentials type for {{hcat}} in oozie-site.xml; that
> is, you *did not* add this:
> {code:xml}
> <property>
> <name>oozie.credentials.credentialclasses</name>
> <value>hcat=org.apache.oozie.action.hadoop.HCatCredentials</value>
> </property>
> {code}
> then Oozie will silently not use the credentials class (because it doesn't
> know about it) so the action trying to use it will fail. It's pretty easy to
> forget to add the property to oozie-site.xml, so it would be nice if instead
> of silently ignoring needing to acquire a credential for an action, the
> workflow should fail either on that action when it tries to use the
> credential and can't find it, or (probably better) when submitting the
> workflow as part of the initial checking (e.g. after we do the forkjoin
> checking or something).
