Description

core-site.xml explicitly sets authentication as SIMPLE

 <property>
    <name>hadoop.security.authentication</name>
    <value>simple</value>
    <description>Simple authentication</description>
  </property>

However any attempt to register ApplicationMaster on the remote YARN cluster results in

org.apache.hadoop.security.AccessControlException: SIMPLE authentication is not enabled.  Available:[TOKEN]
