---------------------------------
Summary: Allow users to pass keytabs to CLI tooling
Key: KUDU-3057
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KUDU-3057
Project: Kudu
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: CLI, security
Reporter: Andrew Wong
In scripting tooling, it's inconvenient to require an explicit `kinit` before
running tooling against a secure cluster. It'd be nice if a user could instead
pass the keytab as an argument to tools.
This would also allow us to use an [in-memory credentials
cache|https://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-1.12/doc/basic/ccache_def.html] as we
do in the server, so we wouldn't "leak" credentials to the system-wide
file-based credentials cache.
