Hi Loïc, I am sorry it took so long to get back to you. I didn't see your question until just now.
For now, Ambari needs to be on a host in the cluster. We hope to fix this requirement soon, but at least through Ambari 2.1, this requirement will stand. So if you have a cluster such that the host that Ambari runs on is not port of the it, there will be several error conditions. For one, the Kerberos client package will not be automatically installed. If you happened to manually install it, then there is an issue scheduling tasks on the Ambari server. Such tasks include generating principals using kadmin (if using the MIT KDC option). If you add the host that run Ambari to your cluster (before enabling Kerberos), this issues should go away. You might, however, need to set the host to have at least one client component on it for the Kerberos client to be installed on it.

Once Ambari has installed a Kerberos Client on the cluster's hosts, it tries to explore the database, but ... The Kerberos client is not deployed on the Ambari cluster. So if a Kerberos client has not been manually installed, the configuration of Kerberos crashes, with a message saying there has been an error while calling Kadmin which does not exist. Is it normal ? Did I miss something ?
