Bolke de Bruin commented on AMBARI-6432:
----------------------------------------

[~rlevas] On the review board I mentioned it, however I will see if I can 
remove the "ok-as-delegate" option, that probably makes it ipa 3 compatible 
(you really should use 4). Furthermore there is another issue (next to the 
lowercase/uppercase) that Ambari is regenerating the test user principal keytab 
for every host (which is weird as it is not host bound) and this makes the 
password reset for that user, so only the last keytab is valid. So it fails 
validation. I don't like this behavior but will see if I can implement a 
password chat for this.

Thanks for the approach to how to get it to lowercase, I will look into that.

> 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).
