[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-6543) Allow authentication-enabled RPC clients to connect to authentication-disabled RPC servers

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6543?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12832335#action_12832335 ] 

Kan Zhang commented on HADOOP-6543:
-----------------------------------

Attached a patch for review. When a RPC server is configured to do simple auth and a client proposes Kerberos or DIGEST authentication, the server sends back a message so that client can switch to simple auth. A twist is that the server needs to ignore the initial SASL message that the client has already sent and continue with simple auth.

> This is useful when one has multiple clusters (of the same release version), some have authentication turned on and some off, and one needs to move data between them.
