[jira] [Created] (ACCUMULO-1300) Allow multiple, prioritized authentication systems

Christopher Tubbs created ACCUMULO-1300:
-------------------------------------------

             Summary: Allow multiple, prioritized authentication systems
                 Key: ACCUMULO-1300
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1300
             Project: Accumulo
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: master, tserver
    Affects Versions: 1.5.0
            Reporter: Christopher Tubbs
            Assignee: Christopher Tubbs
             Fix For: 1.6.0


This continues the work started on ACCUMULO-1024, and proposed in detail on that ticket.

The basic idea is that authenticators should be configurable in a priority list, list the way it can be done on Linux, as in:
{code}
local > NIS > LDAP > AD
{code}
The priority for Accumulo would be:
{code}
SystemUserAuthenticator > BuiltInPasswordAuthenticator > UserConfiguredAuthenticator1 > UserConfiguredAuthenticator2 > ...
{code}
