> 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.
