title: Why use kerberos when you can do authentication and authorization through ldap?
body: <p>We are debating on the use of kerberos in big data cluster that we have. Our admin wants to use ldap for authentication and authorization. I looked up into the internet and got mixed response but there was no clear understanding for the reason to use kerberos. </p>
  
  <p>I understand that you can use kerberos along with ldap but I didn't get clear picture of benefits of using kerbors + ldap vs just ldap. Can anyone explain please?</p>
