Enable LDAP for Ambari:

https://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/HDP2/HDP-2.6.4/bk_security/content/_synchronizing_ldap_use...

Use Ambari View > Files to access HDFS.

If you need access from command line, you will need to enable LDAP on operating system through ldap/sssd etc.

Is the environment kerberized? Do you have configured SSSD to sync users at the os level?
