Ranger policies failed to refresh after implementing Kerberos

Hi guys,

Ranger fails to refresh policies after implementing Kerberos. I implemented Kerberos with new local MIT KDC, and using Ambari Automated Setup. HDFS, Hive and HBase works fine with new authentication method, but there are errors in refreshing policies. Every service where Ranger plugin is enabled gives me error:

2017-03-29 11:24:52,657 ERROR client.RangerAdminRESTClient (RangerAdminRESTClient.java:getServicePoliciesIfUpdated(124)) - Error getting policies. secureMode=true, user=nn/hadoop1.locald@EXAMPLE.COM (auth:KERBEROS), response={"httpStatusCode":401,"statusCode":0}, serviceName=CLUSTER_hadoop
2017-03-29 11:24:52,657 ERROR util.PolicyRefresher (PolicyRefresher.java:loadPolicyfromPolicyAdmin(240)) - PolicyRefresher(serviceName=CLUSTER_hadoop): failed to refresh policies. Will continue to use last known version of policies (3)
java.lang.Exception: HTTP 401
        at org.apache.ranger.admin.client.RangerAdminRESTClient.getServicePoliciesIfUpdated(RangerAdminRESTClient.java:126)
        at org.apache.ranger.plugin.util.PolicyRefresher.loadPolicyfromPolicyAdmin(PolicyRefresher.java:217)

        at org.apache.ranger.plugin.util.PolicyRefresher.run(PolicyRefresher.java:158)

Thats for HDFS, for other services the user is different (hive etc.). I am using HDP 2.5 and Ambari 2.4.1.

These users exist in Kerberos (klist):

hive/hadoop1.locald@EXAMPLE.COM
hive/hadoop2.locald@EXAMPLE.COM
hive/hadoop3.locald@EXAMPLE.COM
hive/hadoop4.locald@EXAMPLE.COM

We were getting the same error and after troubleshooting for some time we found that Ranger policymgr_external_url (in Ambari under Ranger -> Configs -> Advanced -> Ranger Settings -> External URL) was improperly set to the Ranger hosts IP address. We changed that to the FQDN and restarted the effected service (e.g HS2 for hive, NN for HDFS, etc) and the problem was resolved.

Give that a look and shot if applicable.

can you please check if ranger is also kerberised , because if it is hdp2.5 or above then it will be kerberised.

if it is then can you please try following

1) regenerating keytabs from ambari and restart the services.

2) add following properties in the repos on ranger:

policy.grantrevoke.auth.users: hbase ( or corresponding service user)

tag.download.auth.users: hbase ( or corresponding service user)

policy.download.auth.users: hbase (or corresponding service user)

same way these properties to be added in hdfs repo too , and service user will be hdfs or what ever you have in your cluster.

@Deepak Sharma thank you for a quick answer. Ranger is also Kerberized. I added those properties and changed Authentication Type in HDFS Repo to Kerberos. Now Test connection is done successfully, but the same error appears. After these changes few INFO logs appeared:

can you check hadoop.security.auth_to_local config in hdfs & hdfs repo also , if rule is specified for nn ,

RULE:[2:$1@$0](nn@EXAMPLE.COM)s/.*/hdfs/

so that call is sent as hdfs user , and since hdfs user is in policy,download.auth.users so it will be alllowed to download the policy and make sure same config is pres in hdfs repo config also

check this config:

RULE:[1:$1@$0](.*@EXAMPLE.COM)s/@.*//
RULE:[2:$1@$0](activity_analyzer@EXAMPLE.COM)s/.*/activity_analyzer/
RULE:[2:$1@$0](activity_explorer@EXAMPLE.COM)s/.*/activity_explorer/
RULE:[2:$1@$0](amshbase@EXAMPLE.COM)s/.*/ams/
RULE:[2:$1@$0](amszk@EXAMPLE.COM)s/.*/ams/
RULE:[2:$1@$0](atlas@EXAMPLE.COM)s/.*/atlas/
RULE:[2:$1@$0](dn@EXAMPLE.COM)s/.*/hdfs/
RULE:[2:$1@$0](hbase@EXAMPLE.COM)s/.*/hbase/
RULE:[2:$1@$0](hive@EXAMPLE.COM)s/.*/hive/
RULE:[2:$1@$0](jhs@EXAMPLE.COM)s/.*/mapred/

I have exactly the same rules that you uploaded, both in hdfs and hdfs repo. I deleted my old repo and let Ambari create new one, and the newly created HDFS repo has correct configs and test connection is done successfully.
