Enable Admin account for Cloudera Manager

snm1523 — Thu, 16 Jun 2022 15:00:54 GMT

Hi,

I just completed setting up CDP Private Base in a POC environment. I was in process of attempting AD (LDAP based) integration so that users get authenticated via Active Directory.

I am unsure if there was a mis configuration, however, after restarting Cloudera Manager, I can't login to it via "Admin" account (local). Thought it has got AD integrated, tried multiple accounts from AD, however, none of them are working.

Please help to re-enable admin (local) account.

Thanks

@TommyH

Login to DB server where CM is storing metadata and then will need to delete the authentication backend entry. Please refer to below queries:

select ATTR, VALUE from CONFIGS where ATTR = 'auth_backend_order';
delete from CONFIGS where ATTR = “auth_backend_order” and SERVICE_ID is null

Hope this helps.

Thanks
