             Summary: Amend current protocol Username / password to mimic the current SecurityManager implementation
                 Key: GEODE-3739
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-3739
             Project: Geode
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: client/server
            Reporter: Udo Kohlmeyer


The current implementation of the simple username password authentication has a very specific message. The SimpleUsernamePassword authentication class then processes that messages and populates very specific properties and passes that through to the SecurityManager.

Given that the securityManager implementation is custom this approach is very limiting. The new implementation would need to better mimic the generic properties that are passed through without having to manually set any properties.

A suggestion is to use a more generic Properties-based authenticator, that will take the properties that a client sets and pass them through directly to the SecurityManager without interfering with the message other than deserializing it from a hash into properties.
