Automatically calling ambari setup-security #2

[#1]

Encrypting passwords. I'm trying to install hdp via blueprints (with kerberos). I need to call ambari-server setup-security then option #2 (pass/pass). Is there a way to script this? I'm doing this so i can pass PERSISTED for kerberos cred

[#2]

Has anyone been able to automate ambari-server commands ? e.g. ssl / encryption setup etc.

If you are using Ambari 2.4 then you can use the automated way to setup security as mentioned in:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-14627

Example:

ambari-server setup-security --security-option=encrypt-passwords --master-key=masterkey --master-key-persist=true

.

Unfortunately this feature is available since Ambari 2.4 onwards. Is there any possibility for you to try upgrading to ambari 2.4 it has lots of improvements in terms of Views, also has a lots of bug fixes and new features to make things more easy. Upgrading to ambari 2.4 will be quite easy though.

I have written a very simple article on this feature for enabling HTTPs you can refer to the same as well:

- I would suggest you to use the "ambari-server --help" to get more information about those arguments, there might be slight changes in the argument names.
