Kerberos authentication with hive JDBC driver

avatar
New Contributor

I am trying to connect to Hive database with Oracle SQL developer using Cloudera Hive JDBC drivers.

I keep getting following error message

 

Status : Failure -Test failed: [Cloudera][HiveJDBCDriver](500164) Error initialized or created transport for authentication: [Cloudera][HiveJDBCDriver](500169) Unable to connect to server: GSS initiate failed.

 

My Hadoop environment has

  • Hive version 1.2.1.2.3
  • Kerberos version 1.10.3-10

I am trying to connect to this Hive database from Windows 7 64-bit machine which has

  • Sqldeveloper version 4.2.0.16.356.1154
  • Cloudera_Hive JDBC4 driver 2.5.18.1050
  • MIT Kerberos app version 4.1

 

Important: Windows machine I am connecting from is on a different domain as that of Hadoop cluster.

 

I have followed instructions from Using SQL Developer to access Apache Hive with kerberos authentication and steps I have performed are.

  1. Imported all the jar files to SQL Developer from the JDBC driver .
  2. Updated Java Crypto jars (local_policy.jar and US_export_policy.jap in sqldeveloper\jdk\jre\lib\security folder) with ones provided in UnlimitedJCEPolicy.zip.
  3. Created an environment variable  KRB5CCNAME whose value is set to C:\sqldeveloper\ktfile.keytab
  4. Installed MIT kerberos 4.1 64-bit app
  5. Acquired valid ticked (via kinit/hrough the app)
  6. Picture below shows the connection details

Hive connection details were:

 

 

Host name: machine.test.group
port: 10010
database: default

Krbservicename: hive
AuthMech: 1
KrbFQDN: machine.test.group
KrbRealm:  dev.mycompany.com

 

Can someone please advise me what I can do to fix the issue and connect to Hive using JDBC drivers.
