Preparing Kerberos

This subsection provides information on setting up Kerberos for an HDP installation.

Non-Ambari Kerberos Overview
To create secure communication among its various components, HDP uses Kerberos. Kerberos is a third-party authentication mechanism, in which users and services that users wish to access rely on the Kerberos server to authenticate each to the other. This mechanism also supports encrypting all traffic between the user and the service.
