These are the steps to follow see below

Assumptions
logged as root
clustername=test
REALM= DOMAIN.COM
Hostname = host1

logged in as root

[root@host1]#

Switch to user HDFS the HDFS superuser

[root@host1]# su - hdfs

Check the HDFS associated keytab generated

[hdfs@host1 ~]$ cd /etc/security/keytabs/
[hdfs@host1 keytabs]$ ls

Sample output

atlas.service.keytab hdfs.headless.keytab knox.service.keytab oozie.service.keytab

Now use the hdfs.headless.keytab to get the associated principal

[hdfs@host1 keytabs]$ klist -kt /etc/security/keytabs/hdfs.headless.keytab

Expected output

Keytab name: FILE:/etc/security/keytabs/hdfs.headless.keytab
KVNO Timestamp Principal
---- ------------------- ------------------------------------------------------
1 07/26/2021 00:34:03 hdfs-test@DOMAIN.COM
1 07/26/2021 00:34:03 hdfs-test@DOMAIN.COM
1 07/26/2021 00:34:03 hdfs-test@DOMAIN.COM
1 07/26/2021 00:34:03 hdfs-test@DOMAIN.COM
1 07/26/2021 00:34:03 hdfs-test@DOMAIN.COM

Grab a Kerberos ticket by using the keytab+ principal like username/pèassword to authenticate to KDC

[hdfs@host1 keytabs]$ kinit -kt /etc/security/keytabs/hdfs.headless.keytab hdfs-test@DOMAIN.COM

Check you no have a valid Kerberos ticket

[hdfs@host1 keytabs]$ klist

Sample output 

Ticket cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_1013
Default principal: hdfs-test@DOMAIN.COM
Valid starting Expires Service principal
07/26/2021 10:03:17 07/27/2021 10:03:17 krbtgt/DOMAIN.COM@DOMAIN.COM

Now you can list successfully  the HDFS directories, remember to -ls it seems you forgot it in your earlier command

[hdfs@host1 keytabs]$ hdfs dfs -ls /
Found 9 items
drwxrwxrwx - yarn hadoop 0 2018-09-24 00:31 /app-logs

drwxr-xr-x - hdfs hdfs 0 2018-09-24 00:23 /user

Voila happy hadooping and remember to accept the best response so other users could reference it

@ambari275 

From the onset, I see you left the defaults and I doubt whether that really maps to your cluster.
Here is a list of outputs I need to validate

$ hostname -f [Where you installed the kerberos server]
/etc/hosts
/var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kadm5.acl
/var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kdc.conf

On the Kerberos server can you run

# kadmin.local

Then

list_principals

q to quit

The hostname -f output on the Kerberos server should replace kdc and admin_server in krb5.conf

Here is an example

OS: Centos 7

Cluster Realm

HOTEL.COM

My hosts entry is for a class C network so yours could be different but your host name must be resolved by DNS

[root@test ~]# cat /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
192.168.0.153 test.hotel.com test

[root@test ~]# hostname -f

test.hotel.com

[root@test ~]# cat /var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kadm5.acl

*/admin@HOTEL.COM *

[root@test ~]# cat /etc/krb5.conf

# 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
rdns = false
default_realm = HOTEL.COM
default_ccache_name = KEYRING:persistent:%{uid}
[realms]
HOTEL.COM = {
kdc = test.hotel.com
admin_server =test.hotel.com
}
[domain_realm]
.hotel.com = HOTEL.COM
hotel.com = HOTEL.COM

[root@test ~]# cat /var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kdc.conf

[kdcdefaults]
kdc_ports = 88
kdc_tcp_ports = 88
[realms]
HOTEL.COM = {
#master_key_type = aes256-cts
acl_file = /var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kadm5.acl
dict_file = /usr/share/dict/words
admin_keytab = /var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kadm5.keytab
supported_enctypes = aes256-cts:normal aes128-cts:normal des3-hmac-sha1:normal arcfour-hmac:normal camellia256-cts:normal camellia128-cts:normal des-hmac-sha1:normal des-cbc-md5:normal des-cbc-crc:normal
}
[realms]
HOTEL.COM = {
master_key_type = des-cbc-crc
database_name = /var/kerberos/krb5kdc/principal
admin_keytab = /var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kadm5.keytab
supported_enctypes = des-cbc-crc:normal des3-cbc-raw:normal des3-cbc-sha1:norm
al des-cbc-crc:v4 des-cbc-crc:afs3
kadmind_port = 749
acl_file = /var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kadm5.acl
dict_file = /usr/dict/words
}

Once you share the above then I could figure out where the issue could be.

Happy hadooping

(I setup kerberos in different server , not on namenode or datanode !! )

Is this a good practice!!! 

 

 

After changing the krb5.config and kdbc.conf , tried to enable kerberos in ambari GUI by providing admin credentials and stuck at same place . 

 

logs from ambari-server :

@ambari275 

You can set up the kerberos server anywhere on the network provided it can be accessed by the hosts in your cluster. I suspect there is d^something wrong with yor Ambari server. Can you share your /var/log/ambari-server/ambari-server.log

I asked for a couple of files but you only shared the krb5.conf. I will need the rest of the files to be able to understand and determine what could be the issue.

Can describe your setup? Number of Nodes,network, OS etc

I have gone through the logs and here are my observations

Error:
WARNING: A HTTP GET method, public javax.ws.rs.core.Response org.apache.ambari.server.api.services.ExtensionsService.getExtensionVersions(java.lang.String,javax.ws.rs.core.HttpHeaders,javax.ws.rs.core.UriInfo,java.lang.String), should not consume any entity.

Solution:
To fix the issue:

# cat /etc/ambari-server/conf/ambari.properties | grep client.threadpool.size.max
client.threadpool.size.max=25

The client.threadpool.size.max property indicates a number of parallel threads servicing client requests. To find the number of cores on the server, issue Linux command nproc

# nproc
25

1) Edit /etc/ambari-server/conf/ambari.properties file and change the default value of client.threadpool.size.max to have the number of cores on your machine.
client.threadpool.size.max=25

2) Restart ambari-server

# ambari-server restart

Reason:
401 means "Unauthorized", so there must be something with your credentials this is purely an authorization issue. It seems your access to the HDP repos is an issue.


Your krb5.conf should look something like this 

# cat /etc/krb5.conf

# 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
rdns = false
default_realm = DOMAIN.COM
default_ccache_name = KEYRING:persistent:%{uid}

[realms]
DOMAIN.COM = {
kdc = [FQDN 10.1.1.150]
admin_server =[FQDN 10.1.1.150]
}

[domain_realm]
.domain.com = DOMAIN.COM
domain.com = DOMAIN.COM


Your /etc/host I think I remember once having issues with hostnames with - try using host1 for ESXI-host2 etc and please don't comment out the IPV6 entry it can cause network connectivity issue so please remove the be # on the second line

x.x.x.x localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
x.x.x.x FQDN server
x.x.x.x host1
x.x.x.x host2
x.x.x.x host3


Kerberos service uses DNS to resolve hostnames. Therefore, DNS must be enabled on all hosts. With DNS, the principal must contain the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of each host. For example, if the hostname is host1, the DNS domain name is domain.com, and the realm name is DOMAIN.COM, then the principal name for the host would be host/host1.domain.com@DOMAIN.COM. The examples in this guide require that DNS is configured and that the FQDN is used for each host.


Also, ensure ambari agents is installed on all hosts including the ambari-server! Ensure on all the hosts the hostname point to the Ambari server

[server]
hostname=<FQDN_oF_Ambari_server>
url_port=8440
secured_url_port=8441
connect_retry_delay=10
max_reconnect_retry_delay=30

Please revert

Hello Shelton, 

 

Thanks allot, I followed all the steps and was able to enable Kerberos in ambari GUI , but i want to know how to check that's enabled and i tried to perform few commands in Datanode (hadoop services installed) and that the error i got . 

 

hdfs dfs ls /

 

ambari275_0-1627284676889.png

 

 

 

 

Please help me how to verify that cluster is kerberized and how to generate tickets and see the authentication . Thanks allot Shelton. @Shelton

@ambari275 
These are the steps to follow  assuming you are logged in as root

# su - hdfs

 

$ klist -kt /etc/security/keytabs/hdfs-headless.keytab

 

Then the output should give you the principal to use

$ kinit -kt /etc/security/keytabs/hdfs-headless.keytab

Grab a Kerberos ticket by using the keytab+ principal like username/pèassword to authenticate to KDC

[hdfs@host1 keytabs]$ kinit -kt /etc/security/keytabs/hdfs.headless.keytab hdfs-test@DOMAIN.COM

Check you no have a valid Kerberos ticket

[hdfs@host1 keytabs]$ klist

Sample output 

Ticket cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_1013
Default principal: hdfs-test@DOMAIN.COM
Valid starting Expires Service principal
07/26/2021 10:03:17 07/27/2021 10:03:17 krbtgt/DOMAIN.COM@DOMAIN.COM

Now you can list successfully  the HDFS directories, remember to -ls it seems you forgot it in your earlier command

[hdfs@host1 keytabs]$ hdfs dfs -ls /
