[jira] [Created] (HADOOP-11701) RPC authentication fallback option should support enabling fallback only for specific connections.

Chris Nauroth created HADOOP-11701:
--------------------------------------

             Summary: RPC authentication fallback option should support enabling fallback only for specific connections.
                 Key: HADOOP-11701
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11701
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: ipc, security
            Reporter: Chris Nauroth


We currently support the {{ipc.client.fallback-to-simple-auth-allowed}} configuration property so that a client configured with security can fallback to simple authentication when communicating with an unsecured server.  This is a global property that enables the fallback behavior for all RPC connections, even though fallback is only desirable for clusters that are known to be unsecured.  This issue proposes to support configurability of fallback on specific connections, not all connections globally.
