Caused by: KrbException: Generic error (description in e-text) (60) - Unable to locate Kerberos realm

Hi,

I think I am missing some dependency in my pom.xml to get my kerberose realm picked up correctly via rest webservice call . The code works fine and i get results when I deploy simple java project and run jar file directly from the server . But I get below error when I try to make rest service call from the Linux server . The code works fine on my laptop which is windows laptop .

I verified that I have below config on my hbase box :

$ hadoop version Hadoop 2.6.0.2.2.4.2-2 Subversion git@github.com:hortonworks/hadoop.git -r 22a563ebe448969d07902aed869ac13c652b2872 Compiled by jenkins on 2015-03-31T19:49Z Compiled with protoc 2.5.0 From source with checksum b3481c2cdbe2d181f2621331926e267 This command was run using /usr/hdp/2.2.4.2-2/hadoop/hadoop-common-2.6.0.2.2.4.2-2.jar $ hadoop-client version -ksh: hadoop-client: not found [No such file or directory] $ hbase version 2015-12-14 15:18:10,348 INFO [main] util.VersionInfo: HBase 0.98.4.2.2.4.2-2-hadoop2 2015-12-14 15:18:10,348 INFO [main] util.VersionInfo: Subversion git://ip-10-0-0-5.ec2.internal/grid/0/jenkins/workspace/HDP-2.2.4.1-centos6/bigtop/build/hbase/rpm/BUILD/hbase-0.98.4.2.2.4.2 -r dd8a499345afc1ac49dc5ef212ba64b23abfe110

Error I am getting :

So the main problem was that I was using HTTP Rest webservice (running on linux server ) to call hbase . Since hbase is kerberozied it didn't consider any request from HTTP as its unsecured . I had to change server.xml (tomcat ) on my linux server to allow HTTPS request and open port 8443 . Restart the tomcat .

Once I followed above steps my Webservice Rest requests were going through .

It looks like your application doesn't know how to get a kerberos ticket. You need to configure the krb5.conf on the Linux server that you are running from.

I have krb5.conf set in my properties and i have verified it exists on my server at below location:

in my property file :

krb.principal=hdpsrvc@HDP_EIT_DEV.com krb.config=/opt/app/apache-tomcat-8.0.15/conf/krb5.conf keytab.path=/opt/app/apache-tomcat-8.0.15/conf/hdpsrvc.keytab

and i verified that its being picked up. by below code :

kerberosUser = props.getProperty("krb.principal"); kerberosKeytab = props.getProperty("keytab.path"); kerberoseConfig = props.getProperty("krb.config"); zookeeperQuorum = props.getProperty("zookeeperQuorum");

System.out.println("krb : principal :"+ kerberoseConfig);

Hbase Code that I use to set kerberose:

System.setProperty("javax.security.auth.useSubjectCredsOnly", "true"); System.setProperty("java.security.krb5.conf", kerberoseConfig);

org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration config = new org.apache.hadoop.conf.Configuration(); config.set("hadoop.security.authentication", "kerberos"); UserGroupInformation.setConfiguration(config); --- my code dies here and gives above error .

You can find an example on how to write to an HBase kerberised cluster at the following URL.
