- Are you entering "ambari admin" credentials in a place where you are supposed to enter the "kadmin" credentials?

- Can you please share the screenshot of the error that you are getting so that we will know exactly when you are getting this error message.

- Ambari also allows us to permanently store the "kadmin" credentials as described in the following article, so that you do not need to enter the kadmin credentials : https://community.hortonworks.com/articles/42927/adding-kdc-administrator-credentials-to-the-ambari....

The login should be admin/root@REALM or admin/admin@REALM and the password you used when creating the KDC database.

The exact value should be in your

/var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kadm5.acl 

an example above form my centOS the location could be different in Ubuntu

*/admin@TEST.COM      *

So with the above value my login would be either

admin/admin@TEST.COM  or root/admin@TEST.COM or whatever you chose in the begining

The password you entered during the creation of the database see below extract is the one you use in the above scenario

# kdb5_util create -s
Loading random data
Initializing database '/var/kerberos/krb5kdc/principal' for realm 'TEST.COM',
master key name 'K/M@TEST.COM'
You will be prompted for the database Master Password.
It is important that you NOT FORGET this password.
Enter KDC database master key:
Re-enter KDC database master key to verify:

Or whatever you chose I hope you keep the password safely !!

I did face the same problem in HDP 2.3 cluster with open JDK 1.6

I tried the above solution but it didn't work for me.

I then decided to try with HDP 2.4 with open JDK 1.7, Now kerberos setup is successful.
