[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-17517) Non-randomized password used
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-17517?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17280720#comment-17280720 ]
Akira Ajisaka commented on HADOOP-17517:
----------------------------------------
I think It is intentional.
https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r3.3.0/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/CredentialProviderAPI.html#Keystore_Passwords
{quote}
Hardcoded password is the default. Essentially, when using the default password for all keystore-based credential stores, we are leveraging the file permissions to protect the credential store and the keystore password is just a formality of persisting the keystore.
