Step 5: Deploying the Cloudera Manager Server Keytab

After obtaining or creating the Cloudera Manager Server principal and keytab, follow these instructions to deploy them.
  1. Move the cmf.keytab file to the /etc/cloudera-scm-server/ directory on the host where you are running the Cloudera Manager Server. 
    $ mv cmf.keytab /etc/cloudera-scm-server/
  2. Make sure that the cmf.keytab file is only readable by the Cloudera Manager Server user account cloudera-scm. 
    $ sudo chown cloudera-scm:cloudera-scm /etc/cloudera-scm-server/cmf.keytab
$ sudo chmod 600 /etc/cloudera-scm-server/cmf.keytab
  3. Add the Cloudera Manager Server principal (cloudera-scm/admin@YOUR-LOCAL-REALM.COM) to a text file named cmf.principal and store the cmf.principal file in the /etc/cloudera-scm-server/ directory on the host where you are running the Cloudera Manager Server.
  4. Make sure that the cmf.principal file is only readable by the Cloudera Manager Server user account cloudera-scm. 
    $ sudo chown cloudera-scm:cloudera-scm /etc/cloudera-scm-server/cmf.principal
$ sudo chmod 600 /etc/cloudera-scm-server/cmf.principal
  Note: The Cloudera Manager Server assumes that the kadmin command is located in a directory either on the path or in the /usr/kerberos/sbin directory. If this is not the case, you must create a symbolic link to kadmin from a location accessible on the path.
