Hi,

I'm trying to document introductory-level security requirements for
Trafodion, both runtime and during provisining
(installation/upgrade/resizing/removal).

This is what I have for runtime:

The `trafodion:trafodion` user ID is created as part of the installation
process. Trafodion runs under this ID, which must be
registered as a user in the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) to store
and access objects in HDFS, HBase, and Hive.
In addition, the `trafodion` user ID required passwordless access among the
nodes where Trafodion is installed to run cross-node Trafodion functions
such as scripts.

Trafodion requires that either HDFS ACLs or Kerberos is enabled.

Trafodion users are managed by the Trafodion SQL security features (grant,
revoke, etc.), which can be integrated with LDAP if so desired.
These users are referred to as *database users* and do not have direct
access to the operating system.


What did I miss? What did I get wrong?

Gunnar
