Robert Levas updated AMBARI-9209:
---------------------------------
    Attachment: AMBARI-9209_01.patch

* Added {{org.apache.ambari.server.serveraction.kerberos.DeconstructedPrincipal}} to help parse and normalize principals
* Added {{principal_digest}} to the set of Velocity template variables. This value is the binhexed MD5Hash of the normalized principal value
*Added and updated unit tests

> Add ability to append a random value to values in LDAP attributes when generating principals in Active Directory.
> For example the {{cn}} and {{sAMAccountName}} attributes must be unique.  In some caes the {{cn}} is not allowed to have {{/}} characters and in all cases the {{sAMAccountName}} is not allow to have {{/}} characters. Therefore to generate values for these attributes, the _instance_ part of the principal needs to be stripped off and a random string needs to be appended. 
> This can be seen where the principal is {{nn/c6501.ambari.apache.org@EXAMPLE.COM}}.  The {{cn}} would typically be {{nn/c6501.ambari.apache.org}}.  Providing for a random string would allow the {{cn}} value to be something like {{nn-ythnskdtarsjko5fsdfdsb}}. Since the {{sAMAccountName}} can be at most 20 characters, it would be {{nn-ythnskdtarsjko5fs}}.
> Since the generation of the attributes and values is done using a Velocity template, this random string will need to be generated and stored in the Velocity engine context before processing the template.
