Enabling feature flag for Custom Kerberos Principals and System Users

Cloudera Manager does not enable the Custom Kerberos Principals and System Users feature by default. You must enable the feature flag for Custom Kerberos Principals and System Users before setting up the cluster using the Add Cluster - Configuration wizard.

To enable the feature flag, perform the following steps:

  1. SSH into the Cloudera Manager Server host.
  2. Edit the /etc/default/cloudera-scm-server file and add the following line:
    export CMF_FF_CUSTOM_KP_AND_SYSTEM_USER=true
  3. Save the /etc/default/cloudera-scm-server file.
  4. Restart the Cloudera Manager Server by running the following command:
    sudo systemctl restart cloudera-scm-server
