+If neither of these is set the backend will not authenticate with Zookeeper and will set the OPEN_ACL_UNSAFE ACL

+The above allows access from localhost only - as this is the IP schema no auth_info is required since Zookeeper uses the address of the clients to do the ACL check. Zookeeper version 3.5.0 and above should support CIDR (which make much more sense).
