Description

In https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/current/hadoop-kms/index.html

  <name>hadoop.kms.authentication.signer.secret.provider.zookeeper.auth.type</name>
    <value>kerberos</value>
    <description>
      The Zookeeper authentication type, 'none' or 'sasl' (Kerberos).
    </description>
  </property>

It is very misleading. This configuration value should be 'sasl' when the kerberos authentication is enabled.
