[jira] [Resolved] (AMBARI-7630) Oozie Metastore password not properly exported by Blueprint processor

["Robert Nettleton (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-7630?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Robert Nettleton resolved AMBARI-7630.
--------------------------------------
    Resolution: Not a Problem

Further investigation during the review for this patch determined that this fix was not needed.  The original test case for this bug was incorrectly adding this property to the "oozie-env" namespace, and this property does not belong to this namespace.  This caused the Blueprint processor to leave this property as-is, which is the desired behavior for custom properties.

The patch for this issue has been abandoned.

>    Affects Versions: 1.6.0
>            Reporter: Robert Nettleton

>            Priority: Critical

>   Original Estimate: 24h

> If a user sets the following Oozie property when creating a cluster:
> oozie_metastore_user_passwd
> This password field, including the password text, will be included in an exported Blueprint, should the user export a Blueprint from the running cluster.  This will occur in any cluster creation scenario (using the UI vs. using a Blueprint). 
> Password data should not be included in an exported Blueprint, as this represents a security concern.  A more minor problem is that the password used in this cluster may not be useful in the next cluster created with the exported Blueprint. 
> The Blueprint configuration processor should be modified to remove this property from an exported Blueprint.  
> This Oozie configuration property appears to be from older versions of HDP.  As such, the stack metadata information for this property is not available, which is why the Blueprint processor does not currently remove this password from the stack. 
> In the short term (1.7.0), the BlueprintConfigurationProcessor should be modified to properly handle this property.  Going forward, the stack definitions should be modified such that this property includes the password metadata. 
> I'm working on a fix for this, and will be submitting a patch shortly.
