Kerberos configuration failed

avatar
Explorer

I just installed trial version of CDP Data Center on my CentOS7 virtual machine; I was able to connect to the cloudera manager and the first thing that was asked of me was to install a working KDC and I chose to install MIT KDC. After the installation i proceed the configuration of Kerberos and at the end i received the following error: kinit: KDC has no support for encryption type while getting initial credentials.

 

This is the complete error message:


/opt/cloudera/cm/bin/import_credentials.sh failed with exit code 1 and output of <<

kinit: KDC has no support for encryption type while getting initial credentials

 

Any ideas what I should try?

Hello @emeric ,


the "kinit: KDC has no support for encryption type while getting initial credentials" usually occurs after configuring encryption types that do not match the ones present in the tgt principal (such as krbtgt/CLOUDERA@CLOUDERA) in the KDC. This can also happen while starting a service where the enctypes in the krbtgt principal do not match those used in service keytab.

 

From an earlier Community post: Please compare the Kerberos server and client configurations and reconfigure krb5.conf on all your nodes to explicitly use the supported encryption type.

 

The documentation describes:

"Kerberos client OS-specific packages must be installed on all cluster hosts and client hosts that will authenticate using Kerberos."

 

Wondering if some missing packages might be the issue?

 

Kind regards:

Ferenc
