Description

Update the Ambari REST API to allow for GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE operations on the authentication sources related to an Ambari user account.

• * /api/v1/users/:USERNAME/sources
  • List a user’s authentication sources
  • Add a new authentication source for a user

• /api/v1/users/:USERNAME/sources/:SOURCE_ID
  • Get details on a specific authentication source for a user
  • Modify details for a specific authentication source for a user

Update the following entry points, ensuring backwards compatibility where possible:

• /api/v1/users
  • List all users
  • Add a new user
  • Backward compatibility: Set password should create or update the appropriate user_authentication record.
