Larry McCay commented on KNOX-536:
----------------------------------
[~smore] - You have done a great job researching this and articulating it in
the wiki. [~eyang] - thank you for verifying that this work meets the needs of
the JIRA.
I think that it is sufficient to close this JIRA for now.
We may want to revisit the same functionality or at least some of what can be
done here within the KnoxLdapRealm as well. It is great to know that PAM does
provide us a solution here though.
For Hadoop deployments where SSSD is being used to sync LDAP users to OS
accounts anyway, this will be aligned with that approach.
