[jira] [Created] (AMBARI-10037) Support creation of a secure cluster (w/ blueprints)

Eron Wright  created AMBARI-10037:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: Support creation of a secure cluster (w/ blueprints)
                 Key: AMBARI-10037
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-10037
             Project: Ambari
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: ambari-server
            Reporter: Eron Wright 


While it is possible to enable Kerberos on an existing cluster, it should be possible to create a new cluster with Kerberos enabled in a single step.    Ideally the blueprint API could be used in that case.

Note that any service added to an already-secured cluster is immediately secured.  Therefore, a possible workaround is to create a cluster with no services, secure it, then add services.    But this workaround is incompatible with blueprints.

Among the benefits:
# reduced time spent in an insecure configuration; close a potential vulnerability.
# more convenient; no additional step to perform.
# faster; fewer restarts.
# improved interoperability with HCFS.
