DBeaver connection issue with CDP Hive.

Mamun_Shaheed — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 06:21:34 GMT

Hi all,

I am trying to connect DBeaver from my windows 10 client PC to my CDP Hive cluster, but failing with an error message of following

Caused by: com.cloudera.hiveserver2.support.exceptions.GeneralException: [Cloudera][HiveJDBCDriver](500164) Error initialized or created transport for authentication: [Cloudera][HiveJDBCDriver](500169) Unable to connect to server: GSS initiate failed.

My setup

CDP Version : 7.1.9

CDP OS : RHEL 9.1

MIT Kerberos Version : 4.1

DBeaver Version : 24.3.4.202502021521

KDC : Microsoft Active Directory
