CDH 5 Sentry Service setup kerberos PREAUTH_FAILED Error

During my sentry installation, I have faced an issue that gave me big flag on CDH manager.

on step 5, Sentry principal keytab is failing to authenticate. 

My guess is, someone changed (or deleted and recrated) the sentry principal and CDH manager is sending a different keytab everytime I try to set the server. 

I have searched the sentry keytab file on server and I see that CDH mngr creates different keytab file with different attemp number extention everytime send a request(everytime I try to set up) 

1. where is the keytab file that CDH mngr keeps and sends for sentry authentication?

2. Do I have to uninstall and reinstall kerberos to get the sentry principal correctly setup? I have tried every possible way and this is the only one left.

3. Why is CDH mngr is set up like this?

 

This is a decision point in our company to choose best Hadoop Distro enterprice version and we already have a glitch when we were enable Kerberos in CDH

 

Here is the Error log:
