             Summary: Remove warning about requirement for IPA password policy 
without expiration in Ambari kerberos wizard
                 Key: AMBARI-24960
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-24960
             Project: Ambari
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: ambari-web
    Affects Versions: 2.7.0
            Reporter: Sandor Molnar
            Assignee: Sandor Molnar
             Fix For: 2.8.0


The Ambari kerberos wizard for Existing FreeIPA displays a warning about 
setting up a password policy without expiration for the kerberos principals.
[!image-2018-11-26-08-26-37-452.png?default=false|thumbnail!|https://hortonworks.jira.com/secure/attachment/167582/167582_image-2018-11-26-08-26-37-452.png]

As these (user and service) principals are not created with a password, the 
password expiration policy does not apply to them. I verified this by 
maintaining a cluster by maintaining a kerberized cluster for 120+ days, where 
the password for my ldapbind (and other accounts that do have passwords) 
expired in 90 days per default policy, without any impact to my kerberos 
principals or cluster operations.

Unless we've seen contradictory information, let's please remove this warning 
from the wizard to avoid confusing users on what is needed here.
