|
Property | Description |

${username} |

With a Kerberos setup, the proxy user setting should be the primary value of the Kerberos principal for Ambari Server. For example, if you configured Ambari Server for Kerberos principal ambari-server@EXAMPLE.COM, this value would be ambari-server. Refer to Configuring Views for Kerberos for more information.. |
