[KERBEROS] Failed to kinit as the KDC administrator user, admin/[email protected]

[#1]

Hallo,

When to enable Kerberos via ambari, I am facing the following window popup at the time of Testing client after client installation saying

in my log ambari-server listed below

Hi @rizalt , Have you tried logging in with "kinit admin/[email protected]" from one of your cluster nodes or ambari server to see if krb5.conf is fine and can find this user/principal in the KDC server with the given password?

@rizalt 

There are a couple of things to validate.
Step 1 Pre-requisites

• Kerberos Server: Ensure you have a Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) and an administrative server set up.
• DNS: Proper DNS setup is required for both forward and reverse lookups.
  NTP: Time synchronization across all nodes using Network Time Protocol (NTP).
• HDP Cluster: A running Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP) cluster.

Step 2:  Check your /etc/host file ensure your KDC host is assigned the domain HADOOP.COM to match your KDC credentials

Spoiler

# hostname -f

Step 3: Once that matches then edit the Kerberos configuration file (/etc/krb5.conf) on all nodes to point to your KDC you can scramble the sensitive info and share

Spoiler

[libdefaults]
default_realm = HADOOP.COM
dns_lookup_realm = false
dns_lookup_kdc = false

[realms]
HADOOP.COM = {
kdc = kdc.hadoop.com
admin_server = admin.hadoop.com
}

[domain_realm]
.hadoop.com = HADOOP.COM
hadoop.com = HADOOP.COM

Step 4: Locate your kadm5.acl file and ensure it looks like this

Spoiler

*/[email protected] *

Step 5: Restart the KDC and admin servers as root or with sudo

Spoiler

# systemctl restart krb5kdc

# systemctl restart kadmin

Step 6: Check Kerberos Ticket: Ensure that the Kerberos ticket is obtained correctly.

Spoiler

kinit -kt /etc/security/keytabs/hdfs.keytab hdfs/[email protected]
klist

If your setup is correct you will see an output like below 

Spoiler

Ticket cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_1000
Default principal: hdfs/[email protected]

Valid starting Expires Service principal
06/05/2024 09:50:21 06/06/2024 09:50:21 krbtgt/[email protected]
renew until 06/05/2024 09:50:21
06/05/2024 09:50:22 06/06/2024 09:50:21 HTTP/[email protected]
renew until 06/05/2024 09:50:21

Hope that helps

[#6]

Hi @rizalt , You want to verify if the principal exists in the KDC admin database ? 

kadmin: listprincs hdfs*

[#7]

@Majeti . my issue is  when Ambari tests Kerberos client always shows a dialog box like this

My previous settings were like this

I have the principal admin/[email protected] and the password is correct,

root@master1:~# kadmin -p admin/admin
Authenticating as principal admin/admin with password.
Password for admin/[email protected]:
kadmin:  listprincs
HTTP/[email protected]
K/[email protected]
admin/[email protected]
admin/[email protected]
hdfs/[email protected]
kadmin/[email protected]
kadmin/[email protected]
krbtgt/[email protected]

Any suggestions for this issue?

[#8]

Hi @rizalt , I am not sure if you are hitting this known issue https://docs.cloudera.com/runtime/7.1.2/release-notes/topics/rt-known-issues-ambari.html . You can try the workaround mentioned here for now.

[#9]

@rizalt 
Did you see the same entry in the krb5.conf that I suggested you add?

[domain_realm]
  .hadoop.com = HADOOP.COM
  hadoop.com = HADOOP.COM

In the Kerberos setup UI you should also include 

HADOOP.COM , . HADOOP.COM

 Check a solution I offered
Error while enabling Kerberos on ambari
Hope that helps

@rizalt 
Make a backup of your krb5.conf and modify it like below

Spoiler

# Configuration snippets may be placed in this directory as well
includedir /etc/krb5.conf.d/

[logging]
default = FILE:/var/log/krb5libs.log
kdc = FILE:/var/log/krb5kdc.log
admin_server = FILE:/var/log/kadmind.log

[libdefaults]
dns_lookup_realm = false
ticket_lifetime = 24h
renew_lifetime = 7d
forwardable = true
ticket_lifetime = 24h
dns_lookup_realm = false
dns_lookup_kdc = false
default_ccache_name = /tmp/krb5cc_%{uid}
#default_tgs_enctypes = aes des3-cbc-sha1 rc4 des-cbc-md5
#default_tkt_enctypes = aes des3-cbc-sha1 rc4 des-cbc-md5

[realms]
HADOOP.COM = {
admin_server = master1.hadoop.com
kdc = master1.hadoop.com
}

[domain_realm]
.master1.hadoop.com = HADOOP.COM
master1.hadoop.com = HADOOP.COM

Then restart the KDC and retry
