Larry McCay commented on HBASE-11810: ------------------------------------- Okay, so, how do the unit tests work - do I need to write the provisioning of credentials through the API using reflection as well or do the unit tests only run against latest Hadoop? > Access SSL Passwords through Credential Provider API > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-11810 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-11810 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: security > Reporter: Larry McCay > > HADOOP-10607 introduced the credential provider API for allowing passwords > and other sensitive configuration items to be stored in an external provider. > RESTServer is accessing passwords stored in clear text in Configuration > through the standard get() method. By using the new Configuration.getPassword > method instead, the credential provider API will be checked first then fall > back to clear text - when allowed. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
