Description

I want to add the option of allowing security-related unit tests to use an external KDC.

In HADOOP-8078, we add the ability to start and use an ApacheDS KDC for security-related unit tests. It would be good to allow users to validate the use of their own KDC, keytabs, and principals and to test different KDCs and not rely on the ApacheDS KDC.
