Kerberos principal preparation

If your environment requires the manual creation of Kerberos service principals, you must establish the custom principal prior to environment activation. Consult your Kerberos administrator to configure the principal with the specified parameters.

Principal structure and components

A Kerberos principal follows a specific format:

<service name>/<custom
     hostname>@REALM

. For this configuration, the components are defined as follows:


Principal name component	Value	Description
Service name	Hive	The service user name for the Hive service on the base cluster.
Hostname	FQDN	The Fully Qualified Domain Name of your chosen host. For example, edgehost123.customer.com. note You must choose a hostname that complies with your organization’s internal networking and naming guidelines.
Realm	YOUR-REALM	The Kerberos realm managed by your KDC, as specified by your organization. For example, @CORP.EXAMPLE.COM )
