Description

When setting up SSO via the Ambari server CLI using a new Ambari server instance, the following error is encountered:

[root@c7401 ~]# ambari-server setup-sso
Using python  /usr/bin/python
Setting up SSO authentication properties...
Enter Ambari Admin login: admin
Enter Ambari Admin password:

Fetching SSO configuration from DB.ERROR: Exiting with exit code 1.
REASON: Error while fetching SSO configuration. Error details: HTTP Error 404: Not Found

This is caused by the lack of the sso-configuration category in the Ambari configuration set - which will be a common scenario for new Ambari clusters.

GET /api/v1/services/AMBARI/components/AMBARI_SERVER/configurations/sso-configuration

{
  "status" : 404,
  "message" : "The requested resource doesn't exist: RootServiceComponentConfiguration not found where Configuration/service_name=AMBARI AND Configuration/component_name=AMBARI_SERVER AND Configuration/category=sso-configuration."
}

The CLI handle this response and assume the following default values:

ambari.sso.manage_services = false
ambari.sso.enabled_services =
