[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-7189) Add ability to enable 'debug' property in JAAS configuration

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7189?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13006635#comment-13006635 ] 

Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-7189:
------------------------------------------

I agree.  This definitely looks like something that should get reformulated so that we could set it for debugging without rebuilding and/or (even worse) restarting the service.

> Occasionally users have run into weird "Unable to login" messages. Unfortunately, JAAS obscures the underlying exception message in many cases because it thinks leaking the exception might be insecure in itself. Enabling the "debug" option in the JAAS configuration gets it to dump the underlying issue and makes troubleshooting this kind of issue easier.
