Cloudera installation - Password less ssh

Neelesh — Fri, 16 Sep 2022 09:32:31 GMT

Hi Cloudera,

Is is require password-less ssh between cloudera manger and nodes while installing cdh 5.x?

Specifically, it is required to automate installing the Cloudera Manager agent package and for managing the agent lifecycle.

There are some workarounds to this, but if passwordless ssh is unacceptable the usual consequence is more manual steps.

Thanks for reply,

This is further to the conversation, Is it require passwordless ssh between nodes to install cdh?

Passwordless ssh is not required to install CDH.
