> Ranger-Admin enable security mode should not depend on configuration logdir,
> in fact, it should depend on whether hadoop.security.authentication is 
> kerberos.
> If the logdir is null, even if Ranger-Admin is set to Kerberos authentication,
> the Ranger-Admin would not enable security mode.
> By the way, people who read the code will be confused, 
> because logdir has nothing to do with security of Ranger-Admin.
> The code which have problem can be found in Java method 
> EmbeddedServer.start():
> {code}
> if (getConfig("logdir") != null) {
>       String keytab = getConfig(ADMIN_USER_KEYTAB);
>       String principal = null;
>       ......
>       if (getConfig(AUTHENTICATION_TYPE) != null &&
>       
> getConfig(AUTHENTICATION_TYPE).trim().equalsIgnoreCase(AUTH_TYPE_KERBEROS) &&
>       SecureClientLogin.isKerberosCredentialExists(principal, keytab)){
>       ......
>       }
> }
> {code}
