[jira] [Created] (RANGER-686) Allow specifying keytabs in Ranger repositories

Velmurugan Periasamy created RANGER-686:
-------------------------------------------

             Summary: Allow specifying keytabs in Ranger repositories
                 Key: RANGER-686
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-686
             Project: Ranger
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Velmurugan Periasamy
            Assignee: Gautam Borad
             Fix For: 0.6.0


PROBLEM: Currently you have to specify a principal and password when configuring Ranger repositories.  It would be useful to allow specifying a principal and keytab instead of password for authenticating the lookup-client user.

USE CASE:  Sites which have regular password expiration will experience the lookup clients fail routinely.  Also specifying keytab instead of password is considered a best practice.
