[jira] [Created] (AMBARI-17857) Support PowerBroker for non-root installations

Paul Codding created AMBARI-17857:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: Support PowerBroker for non-root installations
                 Key: AMBARI-17857
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-17857
             Project: Ambari
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: ambari-agent, ambari-server
            Reporter: Paul Codding


In some environments PowerBroker is preferred over sudo.  It's desired to support PowerBroker for both the Ambari Server and Ambari Agents, so each can run as a non-root user and have PowerBroker used to escalate priviliges when required.

A suggestion is to add new configuration in the Ambari Server's /etc/ambari-server/conf/ambari.properties to allow users to choose between using sudo, or pbrun, and make sure scripts such as ambari-sudo.sh (for agent and server) are updated to use that configuration when deciding which command to run, and syntax to use when escalating privileges.
