---------------------------------------

             Summary: AuthInitializer should be made optional
                 Key: GEODE-1883
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-1883
             Project: Geode
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: security
            Reporter: Swapnil Bawaskar


{{AuthInitializer}} is the interface that a client must implement that provides credentials that are verified by the server. The same interface is also used for peer authentication. 
In order to configure {{AuthInitialize}} any Geode property starting with {{security-}} is passed through to the {{AuthInitialize.getCredentials}} method.

For simple authentication where only a username and a password are required, users should not really be required to implement the AuthInitialize interface in the presence of property passthrough. 

Geode should detect {{security-username}} and {{security-password}} properties in gemfire.security OR gfsecurity.properties file and use those for authentication.
