Why use kerberos when you can do authentication and authorization through ldap?

Viewed 18163

We are debating on the use of kerberos in big data cluster that we have. Our admin wants to use ldap for authentication and authorization. I looked up into the internet and got mixed response but there was no clear understanding for the reason to use kerberos.

I understand that you can use kerberos along with ldap but I didn't get clear picture of benefits of using kerbors + ldap vs just ldap. Can anyone explain please?
