Shi Wang updated AMBARI-18836:
------------------------------
Description:
The Smoke and “Headless” Service users are used by Ambari to perform service
“smoke” checks and run alert health checks.
The permission for hdfs.headless.keytab is 440. But it will cause security
concern to allow other service user in hadoop group to kinit hdfs headless
principal using hdfs.headless.keytab. In this way, other service user could
"pretend" to be hdfs user and be granted hdfs user's authorities.
> Remove group readable from hdfs headless keytab
