[jira] [Updated] (HBASE-17717) Incorrect ZK ACL set for HBase superuser

["Josh Elser (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-17717?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Josh Elser updated HBASE-17717:
-------------------------------
    Attachment: HBASE-17717.001.patch

.001 Switches the "auth" ACL scheme to "sasl" (under the assumption that we're in "secure" mode anyways) and expands {{TestZKUtil}} to include a few more cases.

> Shreya was doing some testing of a deploy of HBase, verifying that the ZK ACLs were actually set as we expect (yay, security).
> She noticed that, in some cases, we were seeing multiple ACLs for the same user.
> {noformat}
> 'world,'anyone
> : r
> 'sasl,'hbase
> : cdrwa
> 'sasl,'hbase
> : cdrwa
> {noformat}
> After digging into this (and some insight from the mighty [~enis]), we realized that this was happening because of an overridden value for {{hbase.superuser}}. However, the ACL value doesn't match what we'd expect to see (as hbase.superuser was set to {{cstm-hbase}}).
> After digging into this code, it seems like the {{auth}} ACL scheme in ZooKeeper does not work as we expect.
> {code}
>       if (superUser != null) {
>         acls.add(new ACL(Perms.ALL, new Id("auth", superUser)));
>       }
> {code}
> In the above, the {{"auth"}} scheme ignores any provided "subject" in the {{Id}} object. It *only* considers the authentication of the current connection. As such, our usage of this never actually sets the ACL for the superuser correctly.
