Preparing CDP Private Cloud Base

Use Cloudera Manager to configure your Private Cloud Base cluster in preparation for the Private Cloud Data Services installation.

  1. Perform the steps from Configuring TLS Encryption for Cloudera Manager Using Auto-TLS to configure TLS encryption for CDP Private Cloud Base cluster.
  2. Configure Cloudera Manager with a JKS-format (not PKCS12) TLS truststore. For more information, see Database requirements.
  3. Configure Cloudera Manager to include a root certificate that trusts the certificate for all Cloudera Manager server hosts you use with the CDP Private Cloud Base, LDAP server (if you are using LDAP), and the Postgres DB of all Hive Metastores that you use with CDP Private Cloud Base. If you use a single certificate authority (CA) to sign the certificate for all Cloudera Manager server hosts, then you must import only that single CA.
    1. Import the necessary certificates into the truststore configured in Configure Administration > Settings > Security > Cloudera Manager TLS/SSL Client Trust Store File.
  4. Enable Kerberos authentication for all the services in CDP Private Cloud Base cluster. For more information, see the Enabling Kerberos for authentication.
  5. Configure Ranger to use LDAP for user authentication. Ensure that you have set up Ranger user synchronization. For more information, see Configure Ranger authentication for LDAP and Ranger usersync.
  6. Configure authentication using an LDAP in Cloudera Manager. IPA, Microsoft Active Directory (AD), and OpenLDAP are currently supported. For more information, see Configure authentication using an LDAP-compliant identity service.

  7. Verify if all the running services in the cluster are healthy. To verify the health issues of all the running services in the cluster do the following:

    On the Cloudera Manager UI, go to Clusters > [***CLUSTER NAME***] > All Health Issues. If there are no health issues, then Cloudera Manager displays the No Health Issues Found message.

  8. If you want to reuse data from your legacy CDH or HDP deployment into your CDP Private Cloud Base cluster, copy the data from your CDH or HDP deployments into the CDP Private Cloud Base cluster that you can access by CDP Private Cloud Data Services. For more information about data migration, see Data Migration Guide.
