We've been working with several customers running Hortonworks Data Platform for their Hadoop projects helping them to integrate their Hadoop clusters into Active Directory. This integration guide will show you how to integrate multiple Hortonworks Data Platform clusters into Active Directory, so that you can control user access to the cluster. 

Centrify Server Suite provides Identity, Access and Privilege Management for the Hortonworks Data Platform:

• Simplifying AD integration for Hortonworks to run in secure mode
• Automating service account credential management
• Simplifying access with AD-based user single sign-on authentication
• Ensuring regulatory compliance with least privilege and auditing
• Developer SDKs for secure client application access to Hadoop
