Error description

  • Password used for Kerberos authentication during metadata
    import using HBase Connector gets logged in clear text to
    ${IIS_HOME}/ASBNode/logs/asb-agent-*.out IMAM doesn't recognize
    the HBase Connector's property 'password' as password-holding
    property and doesn't encrypt its value when sending connection
    request to the Connector via CAS which logs all requests in
    asb-agent-*.out
