-------------------------------------
Summary: Use hadoop CredentialProvider for sensitive configs
Key: SLIDER-254
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLIDER-254
Project: Slider
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Billie Rinaldi
Assignee: Billie Rinaldi
Accumulo requires a couple of sensitive pieces of information to be provided
when it is starting up (including the Accumulo root user's password). Those
are currently provided in the appConfig.json file. Hadoop common is adding a
CredentialProvider (HADOOP-10607) that allows you to enter passwords into a
Java KeyStore (the storage mechanism is pluggable) and to retrieve them. This
is in branch-2 and trunk, though I'm not sure which branch-2 release it will
make it into. I'd like to add a capability into Slider to prompt the user for
needed passwords and store them using CredentialProvider so they can be
retrieved by an app later.
