Note that you can certainly write to a kerberised Hadoop cluster at the moment, but you have to provide a principal and key tab file in the PutHDFS config, so you can definitely use nifi with a Kerberos enabled cluster today, you just won't be able to impersonate an end user.

Right now neither PAM based authentication or Kerberos are supported. However, support for user authentication via Kerberos [1] is currently slated for 0.6.0. We are closing on releasing 0.5.0 and will being working towards 0.6.0 at that point.

My questions are, 1. can we configure PAM based authentication. If yes, then how ? If no, is the any plan to implement it ? 2. Does NiFi support Kerberos ? We are planning to implement Kerberos on our Hadoop Cluster. Just thinking what are the cons of it on Nifi. Thanks in advance. -Obaid
