Current presto docs around setting up password authentication is not very helpful. There are good amount of chances an end-user will end up facing some error or the other when trying to set up on local. This blog provides a hands-on guide for users for setting up password-file based authentication on local, incrementally solving different errors as they are encountered.

This looks great! I made a lot of comments, mostly to make sentences smoother and easier to read, some minor punctuation and capitalizing, but I found no serious problems, and the structure of the topics flows smoothly.

I really liked your including each problem in the order you encountered them, and how you fixed them. Nice work!

without authentication for development purposes, production clusters need to be secured at all times. Setting up secure clusters
comes with its own challenges in terms of the involved setup, configuration changes. In this blog, we try to set up a secure presto

I'll try to comment on any use of Presto (in sentences, not in code) that should be capitalized but I might miss one, so if you could help by checking this yourself in your revision I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Thanks for the update! I did another beginning-to-end review and found a few more nits of phrasing.
