------------------------------------
Summary: Read Proxy Password from Credential Providers in S3
FileSystem
Key: HADOOP-12804
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12804
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Bug
Components: fs/s3
Reporter: Larry McCay
Assignee: Larry McCay
HADOOP-12548 added credential provider support for the AWS credentials to
S3FileSystem. This JIRA is for considering the use of the credential providers
for the proxy password as well.
Instead of adding the proxy password to the config file directly and in clear
text, we could provision it in addition to the AWS credentials into a
credential provider and keep it out of clear text.
In terms of usage, it could be added to the same credential store as the AWS
credentials or potentially to a more universally available path - since it is
the same for everyone. This would however require multiple providers to be
configured in the provider.path property and more open file permissions on the
store itself.
