Kerberos Settings
Prerequisites
Before setting up Kerberos for Files View, you must first set up Kerberos for Ambari by configuring the Ambari Server daemon with a Kerberos principal and keytab.
Steps
After you have set up Kerberos for Ambari, in Files View > Settings, enter the following properties:
|
Property |
Description |
Example Value |
|---|---|---|
|
WebHDFS Username | This is the username the view will access HDFS as. Leave this default value intact to represent the authenticated view user. |
${username} |
|
WebHDFS Authorization |
This is the semicolon-separated authentication configuration for WebHDFS access. |
auth=KERBEROS;proxyuser=ambari-server **This property is only needed if the view is Custom Configured or Ambari Server is Kerberized before 2.4.0. |
With a Kerberos setup, the proxy user setting should be the primary value of the Kerberos principal for Ambari Server. For example, if you configured Ambari Server for Kerberos principal ambari-server@EXAMPLE.COM, this value would be ambari-server.
