Dobes Vandermeer created DRILL-7573:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: Store user database in zookeeper
                 Key: DRILL-7573
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-7573
             Project: Apache Drill
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components:  Server, Web Server
    Affects Versions: 1.17.0
            Reporter: Dobes Vandermeer


Currently plain login using PAM as its user database.  However, in a containerized or server environment the passwd file is generally kept static, so some other mechanism for managing users is preferred.  Also, pam does not by default come with an easy to way to check passwords other than via the passwd/shadow files.

 

It would be great if there was another authentication method included in drill that was easier to use in a containerized environment.

Reading the usernames and password from a specific file would probably be the simplest mechanism.  Or perhaps storing the information in the same location as the storage plugin configuration, which might allow some user management via the user interface.
