> 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.
