---------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 3.5.7
> Provide API to get user from different authentication providers
> ---------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ZOOKEEPER-2456
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-2456
> Project: ZooKeeper
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: server
> Reporter: Mohammad Arshad
> Assignee: Mohammad Arshad
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 3.6.0, 3.5.6, 3.5.7
>
>
> Currently zookeeper server same field is used to store both user name and
> password
> Provide a mechanism to separate the user and password either by adding new
> field or by adding new API
> DETAILS:
> org.apache.zookeeper.data.Id class is used to store scheme and id.
> {code}
> public Id( String scheme, String id)
> {code}
> id field holds only user in most cases but in some cases it holds user as
> well as password
> By default there are only four authentication provider
> DigestAuthenticationProvider
> IPAuthenticationProvider
> SASLAuthenticationProvider
> X509AuthenticationProvider
> In code we can check if scheme is digest then {{id.split(":")\[0\]}} is user
> otherwise id is user. This will work only if we are limited to above four
> authentication provider
> But Custom authentication provider are very important and are very commonly
> used. How the zookeeper code will know what is the user, is it id or
> {{id.split(":")\[0\]}} or anything else ?
> So there is need to add new API which AuthenticationProvider providers
> implement to define what is user.
