Adam B commented on MESOS-5343: ------------------------------- Quite an annoying inconsistency. I would think that we should allow users to load a custom http_authenticator without requiring them to enable authentication. We could WARN in that case rather than EXIT. However, agent http authentication was added later, so I would think that the deviation was intentional, with an intent to change master to match. I'd be fine with either, but we should try to be consistent. > Behavior of custom HTTP authenticators with disabled HTTP authentication is > inconsistent between master and agent > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MESOS-5343 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-5343 > Project: Mesos > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Benjamin Bannier > Fix For: 0.29.0 > > > When setting a custom authenticator with {{http_authenticators}} and also > specifying {{authenticate_http=false}} currently agents refuse to start with > {code} > A custom HTTP authenticator was specified with the '--http_authenticators' > flag, but HTTP authentication was not enabled via '--authenticate_http' > {code} > Masters on the other hand accept this setting. > Having differing behavior between master and agents is confusing, and we > should decide on whether we want to accept these settings or not, and make > the implementations consistent. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
