    Description

      When system password alias is used instead of plain text password in Knox topology, the knoxcli system-user-auth-test and user-auth-test fails to authenticate.

      Issue can be reproduced easily by following these steps:

      Steps to reproduce:
      1. Specify these three property in topology (say sandbox.xml)

              <param>
                <name>main.ldapRealm.authorizationEnabled</name>
                <value>true</value>
              </param>
              <param>
                <name>main.ldapRealm.contextFactory.systemUsername</name>
                <value>uid=admin,ou=people,dc=hadoop,dc=apache,dc=org</value>
              </param>
              <param>
                <name>main.ldapRealm.contextFactory.systemPassword</name>
                <value>${ALIAS=ldapsystempassword}</value>
              </param>
      

      2. Save and restart the Knox gateway service
      3. Create password alias:
      bin/knoxcli.sh create-alias ldapsystempassword --value 'admin-password' --cluster sandbox
      4. Both the below command would fail:

      bin/knoxcli.sh system-user-auth-test --cluster sandbox --d
