A remote zookeeper client connects zookeeper server:

zookeeper-client -server xxxxxx
or
./zkCli.sh -server xxxxxx

The problem is any remote zookeeper client can connect zookeeper server to read znode without authentication.

Is there any way to force zookeeper client authentication?

 

I will be grateful for any suggestions.

As far as I understand the docs the zookeeper is "open" and if you want to create something "protected" you have to do it explicitly.

Create a protected znode from within the ZooKeeper CLI. Make sure that you substitute YOUR-REALM as appropriate.

create /znode1 znode1data sasl:zkcli@{{YOUR-REALM}}:cdwra

Thank you for your reply!

I followed CDH post, then test two scenes:

2. Authentication failed

zookeeper client can still get the znode data if the authentication is failed.

Is there any way to check the authentication of session, not the inside znode?
