-------------------------------------
Summary: operations tool to enable the administrative user in
kerberos installations w/o security reset
Key: ACCUMULO-4491
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-4491
Project: Accumulo
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 1.8.0, 1.7.2, 1.7.1
Reporter: Sean Busbey
Priority: Critical
Fix For: 2.0.0
Right now converting an existing cluster to use Kerberos requires using the
{{accumulo init --reset-security}} tool in order to replace the "root" user
with an appropriate administrative user principal. This has the side effect of
dumping existing user permission information.
That means downstream folks have to use the config dumping tools or the like in
order to save existing permissions if they want to refer to them later while
setting up kerberos users.
It'd be preferable for us to have a cli tool to set the administrative user.
