Hi, i have cluster with knox installed and kerberos autentication enabled, i want to access the knox admin ui to make changes in the topologies, the thing is that i dont really know what is the admin-ui credentials, i tried using my admin from the kerberos but it doesn't work. my credentials from the cloudera manager also dont work. Everything is installed in the same cluster so i wanted to see if someone hava any idea what im doing wrong or  any idea of what credencials am i supposed to use.

Thanks in advance

Hi @Guiimon,

 

By default knox uses PAM authentication, you can create a user on the knox host and set the password and with this user and password try to login to knox UI.

 

If you need LDAP authentication to be enabled, you can follow the below document.

Please let me know if you have any questions
