Resolution: Duplicate
> Create a more secure way to obtain and handle KDC administrator credentials
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AMBARI-8734
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-8734
> Project: Ambari
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: ambari-server
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: Robert Levas
> Assignee: Robert Levas
> Labels: encryption, kdc_credentials, kerberos, security
> Fix For: 2.3.0
>
>
> The current mechanism for obtaining and handling KDC administrator credentials is not particularly secure thus allowing any knowledgeable user to potentally gain access to them.
> A new mechanism needs to be put in place to security store this data for at least the duration of a HTTP session and potentially longer in the event Ambari allow for long-term storage of this data.
> Ideally any solution is generic enough to handle secure data of any type.
