Sean Busbey commented on HBASE-17827:
-------------------------------------
counter argument (that I don't think I agree with): AuthUtil.getAuthChore is
meant for long running applications and as such users shouldn't be deploying
applications that are based on it using a local kinit that will inevitably fail
once renewal lifetimes are exceeded.
> Client tools relying on AuthUtil.getAuthChore() break credential cache login

> Key: HBASE-17827
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-17827
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: canary, security
> Reporter: Gary Helmling
> Assignee: Gary Helmling
> Priority: Critical
>
> Client tools, such as Canary, which make use of keytab based logins with
> AuthUtil.getAuthChore() do not allow any way to continue without a
> keytab-based login when security is enabled. Currently, when security is
> enabled and the configuration lacks {{hbase.client.keytab.file}}, these tools
> would fail with:
> {noformat}
> ERROR hbase.AuthUtil: Error while trying to perform the initial login:
> Running in secure mode, but config doesn't have a keytab
> java.io.IOException: Running in secure mode, but config doesn't have a keytab
> at
> org.apache.hadoop.security.SecurityUtil.login(SecurityUtil.java:239)

> These tools should still work with the default credential-cache login, at
> least when a client keytab is not configured.
