Indeed (using SAS client on a desktop) that connects to a SAS server (as in a session) and the need is to pass the user's kerberos ticket to HDP from that server. We have turned the registry setting in WIN server so the ticket cache is shareable, but no go. </P><P>I was wondering if there is any doc or step by step that is available? Also, the steps you showed in code section above, needs to be done for ea. end user on the client (to HDP) server? There is NO direct end-user login to the server (only via clients). Is there anything that could have WIN OS perform kinit on behalf of the end user and pass that ticket to HDP.</P><P>Any insight is appreciated as we are going in circle.</P><P>*(Still discovering kerberos not expert level)<BR /><A rel="user" href="https://community.cloudera.com/users/98/emaxwell.html" nodeid="98"></A> </P> Sat, 17 Feb 2018 02:26:11 GMT rsheikh 2018-02-17T02:26:11Z
