Description

Since the executor JWT module will use OpenSSL for its HMAC SHA256 routine, the simplest thing to do for the MVP is only allow executor authentication when Mesos is build with libevent/SSL enabled.

Later, we could update the build system to allow Mesos to use executor authentication when built without libevent/SSL.
