Description

We have enabled kerberos authentication in our clusters, but we see the following in the log files

2014-06-11 11:07:05,903 INFO SecurityLogger.org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Server: Auth successful for [e-mail] (auth:SIMPLE)
2014-06-11 11:07:05,914 INFO SecurityLogger.org.apache.hadoop.security.authorize.ServiceAuthorizationManager: Authorization successful for [e-mail] (auth:KERBEROS) for protocol=interface

This is quite confusing for administrators.
