How to install services with custom system accounts using Ambari?

Hi,

1. We have disabled automatic local system account ID creation through Ambari.

2. We have our cluster integrated with LDAP server.

3, We are unable to create a system account ID called falcon in LDAP because there's a real user with that ID.

4. We'd like to create a system account ID called falconhdp in LDAP and use this account for falcon services.

How do we go about installing falcon using Ambari with system account as falconhdp? Please advise.

If there's a documentation on how to use different account id for installing services via Ambari, please share.

Found it.

On the Customize Services screen, we can click on Misc-->>

. There we can change the default any users. In my case, I have changed, default falcon to custom LDAP system account(example: falconhdp).

Click "Next" to continue.

It worked.
