@Nitin0858 below command will work if you enable kerberos for ambari
curl --negotiate -u: 'http://<hostname>:8080/api/v1/clusters/<cluster_name>/services/<service_name>;'
eg:
curl --negotiate -u: 'http://ambari-host:8080/api/v1/clusters/clusterabc/services/HIVE'

Please find the steps below:

1) ambari-server setup-kerberos

2) ambari-server restart

3) Verify kerberos properties are updated in ambari.properties | grep kerberos

4) kinit with ambari admin principal and run the curl call.

Hi

I have kerberos enabled hadoop server so its name node , datanode yarn mapreduce are kerberos enabled but its service url is not kerberos enabled as I can hit that url on web and get the output on web but if it is kerberos enabled then it should not be hit on web .

 

while running below command getting :- 

 

 

curl --negotiate -u: 'http://ambari-host:8080/api/v1/clusters/clusterabc/services/HDFS

 

output :

{
"status": 403,
"message": "Authentication required"
}

 

 

Please suggest some solution for it .

 

Thanks in advance.

@Nitin0858 Was the ambari-server setup-kerberos run? Can you check the auth_to_local rule and mapping.

@niparmar 

some rules are defined in hadoop.security.auth_to_local property.

and some property as below -

hadoop.security.authentication    kerberos

hadoop.security.authorization      true

hadoop.http.authentication.simple.anonymous.allowed   false

 

I am posting it in regards hdfs configuration .

 

Please suggest what we missed here.
