Centrify + Hadoop Update - February 2015

Back in august 2014, I published a blog entry titled "Using Active Directory and Centrify to Accelerate your Linux-based Big Data Deployments" that helped illustrate how to use Centrify for Servers for the purposes of Big Data with Hadoop.

In the meantime Centrify has been gearing-up for the release of Centrify Suite 2015, part of what's coming is improvements on all popular Hadoop implementations with Cloudera, Hortonworks and MapR.  As a preview, David has released a few of companion whitepapers:

• Centrify Identity and Access Management for MapR
• Centrify Identity and Access Management for Cloudera
• Centrify Identity and Access Management for Hortonworks Data Platform

From the post:

"Centrify Server Suite provides Identity, Access and Privilege Management for the Cloudera | Hortonworks | MapR:

• Simplifying AD integration for Cloudera | Hortonworks | MapR to run in secure mode
• Automating service account credential management
• Simplifying access with AD-based user single sign-on authentication
• Ensuring regulatory compliance with least privilege and auditing
• Developer SDKs for secure client application access to Hadoop

Enjoy!!
