> FreeIPA Support in Ambari
> -------------------------
>
> Key: AMBARI-6432
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-6432
> Project: Ambari
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: ambari-server
> Reporter: jay vyas
>
> FreeIPA Is a powerful tool for unifying identity, kerberos credentials,
> across a cluster.
> A great value add for ambari would be to provide support for using FreeIPA to
> kerberize services. This would allow for
> 1) better HCFS interoperability, because first class GID/UID is critical for
> certain file systems (GlusterFS, Lustre, and any other file system which uses
> kernel / FUSE apis for determining identity)
> 2) better enterprise interoperability. Because of the fact that FreeIPA
> makes it easy to interop with different identity solutions (like active
> directory), it would make ambari easier to adopt for various enterprises.
> 3) broadens ambaris scope. Now ambari could also allow people to setup the
> users of their clusters, and at least some of the security features of their
> clusters, all from one interface (no more manual handling of TGTs and such -
> it could all be done quite easily via the ambari UI which could make calls to
> underlying FreeIPA clients).
