How to disable kerberos in CDP 7

Uday_Singh2022 — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 07:53:47 GMT

We have recently upgrade from CDH to CDP 7.1.7. Now we want to disable Kerberos on CDP cluster. Is it feasible to do so. I know it is not recommended by Cloudera to disable Kerberos. But still we want to do that to implement one use case. Could someone tell me how to disable kerberos for whole cluster in CDP 7.

Hello,

There is no one Click solution in CDP to disable kerberos. As you pointed out, it is not recommended to disable kerberos once it's configured. Without kerberos, Ranger and other services might not work properly as Kerberos is the core security in CDP.

You can try to follow the below community post to check if that helps.

This doc could help in disabling kerberos to entire cluster.
