horizonnet.kerberos_server

kerberos_server

This role helps you to install a Key Distribution Center (KDC) on the target machine. It is based on the work of Benno Joy.
The setup creates a KDC and a new realm as you specify. It also sets up a default admin user for managing the Kerberos server.
You can set the admin username with "kerberos_server_kadmin_user" and the password with "kerberos_server_kadmin_pass".
Additionally, a user named "cloudera-scm" is created for Cloudera Manager.

Requirements

You need Ansible version 1.4 or later, and the platform requirements are in the metadata file.

Role Variables

You can use the following variables with this role:

kerberos_server_realm_name: EXAMPLE.COM — Name for the Kerberos realm.

    - { role: kerberos_server, kerberos_server_realm_name: "EXAMPLE.COM", 
                        kerberos_server_kadmin_user: "root", 
                        kerberos_server_kadmin_pass: "foobar" }
