Jordan Zimmerman commented on ZOOKEEPER-2779: --------------------------------------------- How is the current mechanism "offline"? The ZooKeeper server must be running and you have to set the ACLs with a client. That's online. Offline would mean that it could be done entire from configuration - which would be great. But, that's not what we have in 3.5.3. > Add option to not set ACL for reconfig node > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: ZOOKEEPER-2779 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-2779 > Project: ZooKeeper > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: server > Affects Versions: 3.5.3 > Reporter: Jordan Zimmerman > Assignee: Jordan Zimmerman > Fix For: 3.5.4, 3.6.0 > > > ZOOKEEPER-2014 changed the behavior of the /zookeeper/config node by setting > the ACL to {{ZooDefs.Ids.READ_ACL_UNSAFE}}. This change makes it very > cumbersome to use the reconfig APIs. It also, perversely, makes security > worse as the entire ZooKeeper instance must be opened to "super" user while > enabled reconfig (per {{ReconfigExceptionTest.java}}). Provide a mechanism > for savvy users to disable this ACL so that an application-specific custom > ACL can be set. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
