-------------------------------------
Summary: Support PowerBroker for non-root installations
Key: AMBARI-17857
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-17857
Project: Ambari
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: ambari-agent, ambari-server
Reporter: Paul Codding
In some environments PowerBroker is preferred over sudo. It's desired to
support PowerBroker for both the Ambari Server and Ambari Agents, so each can
run as a non-root user and have PowerBroker used to escalate priviliges when
required.
A suggestion is to add new configuration in the Ambari Server's
/etc/ambari-server/conf/ambari.properties to allow users to choose between
using sudo, or pbrun, and make sure scripts such as ambari-sudo.sh (for agent
and server) are updated to use that configuration when deciding which command
to run, and syntax to use when escalating privileges.
