Gary Helmling created HBASE-7357: ------------------------------------ Summary: HBaseClient and HBaseServer should use hbase.security.authentication when negotiating authentication Key: HBASE-7357 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7357 Project: HBase Issue Type: Bug Components: security Reporter: Gary Helmling
This came up in the context of testing HBASE-6788. Currently HBaseClient and HBaseServer call UserGroupInformation.isSecurityEnabled() when determining whether or not to use SASL to negotiate connections. This means they are using the hadoop.security.authentication configuration value. Since this is in the context of HBase RPC connections, it seems more correct to use the hbase.security.authentication configuration value by calling User.isHBaseSecurityEnabled(). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
