[jira] [Commented] (MESOS-3024) HTTP endpoint authN is enabled merely by specifying --credentials

Adam B commented on MESOS-3024:
-------------------------------

See also the work that [~arojas] is doing for HTTP Authentication in MESOS-2297.
I think we can start by introducing a `--authenticate_webui` flag or instead use ACLs to determine when to do webui authn.

> If I set `--credentials` on the master, framework and slave authentication are allowed, but not required. On the other hand, http authentication is now required for authenticated endpoints (currently only `/shutdown`). That means that I cannot enable framework or slave authentication without also enabling http endpoint authentication. This is undesirable.
> Framework and slave authentication have separate flags (`\--authenticate` and `\--authenticate_slaves`) to require authentication for each. It would be great if there was also such a flag for framework authentication. Or maybe we get rid of these flags altogether and rely on ACLs to determine which unauthenticated principals are even allowed to authenticate for each endpoint/action.
