REST client and Hazelcast group name/password

[anat...@gmail.com]

When connecting via native Java client 3.6.x, it needs to have a name/password pair that matches one listed on the cluster side.

<group>
      <name>dev</name>
       <password>dev-pass</password>
</group>

If there is no match, the client will fail with "com.hazelcast.client.AuthenticationException: Invalid credentials!".

When connecting via REST client it seems to work fine without any credentials at all.

I do not see any examples in the Hazelcast REST documentation making use of these credentials. I was expecting something like "curl -u dev:dev-pass ..."

Does this "authentication" feature exist for REST client? Is there any security associated with REST client?

Thank you for your response.

Hey,

No there is no security feature in the REST API. That’s the main reason why it is disabled by default and why we don’t recommend to use it. Imagine the REST API as a last resort option if there’s no native client for your programming language.
