Navigator Encrypt installed using Cloudera Manager (Tech Preview)

In Cloudera Runtime 7.3.2.0 and higher releases, the new Navigator Encrypt parcel centralizes the entire lifecycle management within Cloudera Manager. Previously, Navigator Encrypt required manual, host-by-host RPM installation and configuration. Administrators can now manage the installation, configuration, and upgrade of Navigator Encrypt across all cluster hosts directly from the Cloudera Manager interface. This new approach provides a significant improvement in usability, streamlining ongoing maintenance and lifecycle management.
