Authentication Failed on trying to download the Ambari repository file

brunokatekawa — Thu, 31 Dec 2020 11:30:25 GMT

Hello!

I'm trying to install Ambari Server as instructed at https://docs.cloudera.com/HDPDocuments/Ambari-2.7.5.0/bk_ambari-installation/content/download_the_ambari_repo_amznlnx2.html

I tried the command (replacing username with my username and respective password), but I get the "Authentication Failed" for both commands below.

sudo wget -nv https://username:password@archive.cloudera.com/p/ambari/amazonlinux2/2.x/updates/2.7.5.0/ambari.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/ambari.repo

sudo wget -nv https://archive.cloudera.com/p/ambari/amazonlinux2/2.x/updates/2.7.5.0/ambari.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/ambari.repo

I'm using Amazon Linux 2 AMI

I also tried on my local machine (Mac OS) and got the same error message.

How should I proceed?

Thank you!

@brunokatekawa

What is happening if my guess is right is you are trying to use your community username/password this will definitely fail.

Ambari 2.7.x is available for companies with valid HDP 3.x support licenses you have an active subscription with Cloudera as you can see below access is denies as I used my community login.

Here is the HDP support Matrix

Starting with the HDP 3.1.5 release, access to HDP repositories requires authentication. To access the binaries, you must first have the required authentication credentials (username and password).

Read accessing HDP repositories

Hope that helps
