Ranger KMS throws exception

avatar
Explorer

Hi,

My cluster is kerbeorized with KMS. When I execute the following command I am getting the below error. Could anyone help me on this asap.

curl --negotiate -u : -X GET http://<clustername>:9292/kms/v1/keyversion/<keyname@0/_eek?ee_op=decrypt

{ "RemoteException" : { "message" : null, "exception" : "WebApplicationException", "javaClassName" : "javax.ws.rs.WebApplicationException" }

In the kms-audit.log I see the following error "ErrorMsg:'Authentication required' saying that Authentication required.

I specified --negotiate option and -u option as well.

But the below command is working

curl --negotiate -u : -X GET http://<clustername>:9292/kms/v1/keyversion/<keyname@0

{ "name" : "<keyname", "versionName" : "<keyname>@0", "material" : "<some value>" }

The user with which the command is being executed has the valid Kerberos ticket and decrypt permissions also set with Ranger kms web ui

decrypt operation needs POST instead of GET. Check the samples form KMS doc below.

Decrypt Encrypted Key

REQUEST:

POST http://HOST:PORT/kms/v1/keyversion/<version-name>/_eek?ee_op=decrypt
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "name"        : "<key-name>",
  "iv"          : "<iv>",          //base64
  "material"    : "<material>",    //base64
}

RESPONSE:

200 OK
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "name"        : "EK",
  "material"    : "<material>",    //base64
}
