[jira] [Created] (ACCUMULO-1720) Accumulo saves user passwords in the clear (including the root password) in Zookeeper

Michael Allen created ACCUMULO-1720:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: Accumulo saves user passwords in the clear (including the root password) in Zookeeper
                 Key: ACCUMULO-1720
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1720
             Project: Accumulo
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: tserver
    Affects Versions: 1.5.0
            Reporter: Michael Allen


In reviewing some of the security around users, it came to my attention that Accumulo stores passwords within Zookeeper in the clear.  Grepping through Zookeeper's data files proves this out (as does inspecting the code).

These passwords should be stored heavily salted and hashed.
