Description
Currently Amabari project does not provide a way for very security conscious clients to get editable scripts to be run on their system .
In a real world scenario with enterprise level customers, there will be no way that these customers will let the Ambari wizard run anything on the organization LDAP server .
What we suggest to contribute is a framework which is based on "IBM''s kerberos automation toolkit for hadoop ", more details can be found here :
https://developer.ibm.com/hadoop/blog/2014/12/11/ibms-kerberos-automation-toolkit-hadoop/
This toolkit supports building scripts and other resources for both "openLDAP" and "Active Directory" in order to ease up the configuration of kerberos on hadoop enviornments for security concious clients . these scripts and artifacts are created based on the clients topology . and have been tested at various client sites.
