Configure Kerberos authentication for Apache Ranger
How to configure Kerberos Authentication for Apache Ranger
Kerberos authentication for Apache Ranger is automatically configured when HDFS Kerberos authentication is configured in Cloudera Manager (typically using the Cloudera Manager Kerberos Wizard). In this way, the actions that Ranger authorizes are sure to be requested by authenticated users.
Specifically, Ranger depends on the HDFShadoop.security.authentication
property to enable or disable
Kerberos authentication. When the hadoop.security.authentication
property is
updated, the Ranger service gets a restart indicator for the core-site.xml
file that resides inside the Ranger service conf directory generated by Cloudera Manager.
Ranger Kerberos authentication is automatically enabled when HDFS Kerberos authentication is enabled.
