To @merrimanr 's point, can we provide a config flag to disable auth
altogether, if desired? Maybe an Ambari config dropdown?, e.g. "NONE, KNOX
SSO." Not sure what your plan is with the Ambari config in 1664, but I think
that making SSO enabled/disabled as configurable like we do with Kerberos would
be desirable. I realize there's very likely config and properties to deal with
as supplied by Knox when setting it up in Ambari. I just don't know off the top
of my head how much is automated (again, like Kerberos across the entire
cluster) vs what's ad-hoc and per-component/service. Thoughts?
