[jira] [Created] (HBASE-7357) HBaseClient and HBaseServer should use hbase.security.authentication when negotiating authentication

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().
