1. Prerequisites

In addition to the prerequisites provided here, ensure that you also meet the following prerequisites for secure deployments:

  • Ensure that the UNIX users (responsible for job submission) have the user ID greater than 1000.

    [Note]Note

    We strongly discourage usage of Hadoop service users (hdfs, hbase, hcat, mapred) for submitting jobs. You must instead use separate UNIX users for job submissions.

  • Download the security policy JAR files:

    wget http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jce_policy/6/jce_policy-6.zip

    [Note]Note

    These JAR files must be present under $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/s directory

  • Ensure that you replace the instances of EXAMPLE.COM (under the realm property) in gsInstaller.propertiess file with the actual value of the realm defined in your krb5.conf file.
