The property is a String representing the authentication mode to be used by
the protobuf protocol. It currently has two valid settings. The protobuf in the
name refers to the new client protocol (which we're calling the protobuf
protocol).
I don't think we're quite ready to take the feature flag out yet, but we
should consider it as this feature nears alpha. Or moving the feature flag to a
better config mechanism (DistributionConfig), so that this property and that
one are in approximately the same place.

If your project is set up for it, you can reply to this email and have your
reply appear on GitHub as well. If your project does not have this feature
enabled and wishes so, or if the feature is enabled but not working, please
contact infrastructure at infrastruct...@apache.org or file a JIRA ticket
with INFRA.
