[jira] [Created] (ACCUMULO-1319) Remove root username prompt from init

Christopher Tubbs created ACCUMULO-1319:
-------------------------------------------

             Summary: Remove root username prompt from init
                 Key: ACCUMULO-1319
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1319
             Project: Accumulo
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Christopher Tubbs
            Assignee: John Vines
             Fix For: 1.5.0


The prompt for the root user name was added to get around the constraint that System.GRANT permission cannot be granted. However, that's only true in the ZKAuthenticator/Authorization component that existed previously. It may not be true in the user-configured Authorizor.

Leaving this in for 1.5 would create an unnecessary churn between 1.4 and 1.6, especially in light of planned 1.6 features (ACCUMULO-1300, which should require a prompt to initialize the "local" user named "root" only). It also conflicts with ACCUMULO-1024's intentions to leave user management for pluggable authentication system outside Accumulo and in their own tools (such as LDAP).

This prompt should not exist in 1.5.
