> LDAP is complicated and needs careful configuration especially if synchronizing with a local users repository. It can even get more complex, when trying to support users from multiple domains, which is not supported by Ambari right now.
> Tools like SSSD, Winbind, Quest, Centrify, ... do a good job of integrating complex LDAP/AD environments to Unix/Linux based systems using PAM.
> Using PAM in Ambari could potentials simplify user authentication a lot.
> As users synchronization would not be required anymore, users would need to be created at first log in. This can be borrowed from the newly implemented JWT authentication.
> Other projects using PAM authentication:
> (In Hadoop Knox) https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KNOX-537
> (With Spring Auth) https://github.com/ImmobilienScout24/yum-repo-server/blob/master/src/main/java/de/is24/infrastructure/gridfs/http/security/PamAuthenticationProvider.java
