Github user galen-pivotal commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/geode/pull/719 @metatype We need the `StreamAuthenticator` to receive and send (Protobuf-encoded) messages containing the credentials that get passed to the `SecurityManager`. I would think that ideally it's nothing more than this. I wonder if it would be better to send a hash that gets put into the Properties that SecurityManager uses, rather than having a message that explicitly contains username and password.
