[jira] [Commented] (GEODE-1647) Enable use of SecurityManager for peer authentication

["Swapnil Bawaskar (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-1647?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15369089#comment-15369089 ] 

Swapnil Bawaskar commented on GEODE-1647:
-----------------------------------------

Since a Geode distributed system is typically deployed behind a firewall, peer-to-peer authentication is not required as frequently as client-server authentication. Hence there should be a way to disable peer-to-peer authentication when {{SecurityManager}} is used. 

I propose that we add a new geode property {{enable-peer-to-peer-authentication}} which is true by default, but can be set to false when peer-to-peer authentication is not required.

> Since the clients and JMX both support SecurityManager for authentication, the peer-to-peer authentication should also be able to use SecurityManager so that the users could truly have one callback for all authentication.
