There should be an update in the newly-added documentation about the client setting of the properties. I will do this in the {{develop}} branch, and if there must be a third Geode release candidate for 1.0.0-incubating, this change should be cherry picked into the new release candidate.

Also, the documentation should be updated again if/when this bug is fixed.

> {{AuthInitializer}} is the interface that a client must implement that provides credentials that are verified by the server. The same interface is also used for peer authentication. 
> In order to configure {{AuthInitialize}} any Geode property starting with {{security-}} is passed through to the {{AuthInitialize.getCredentials}} method.
> For simple authentication where only a username and a password are required, users should not really be required to implement the AuthInitialize interface in the presence of property passthrough. 
> Geode should detect {{security-username}} and {{security-password}} properties in gemfire.security OR gfsecurity.properties file and use those for authentication.
