It looks like the LSA cache usage *is* possible, I personally don't have a Windows machine to test it with however.  From the MIT Kerbeors docs it looks like there are a few other steps to use this cache on Windows and some tools required.     Have a look on this page https://github.com/krb5/krb5/tree/master/src/windows and look for the section titled 'Credentials Cache' for the steps to try it out.   Hope this helps. ...

Hi VeeBau,   I've seen this issue too on Mac machines and with the Impala JDBC driver.  The answer lies in an environment variable that needs to be set for the Kerberos cache.  This *is* documented for Windows but not for the Mac.  Basically you need to have KRB5CCNAME set to a file path.   For Windows this is documented on page 76 of this document: http://www.cloudera.com/content/www/en-us/documentation/other/connectors/hive-jdbc/latest/Cloudera-JDBC-Driver-for-Apache-Hive-Install-Guide.pdf   The same is true for the Impala driver on page 13 here: http://www.cloudera.com/content/www/en-us/documentation/other/connectors/impala-jdbc/latest/Cloudera-JDBC-Driver-for-Impala-Install-Guide.pdf   If you come across this error on a Mac (or Linux - probably, I have not tested) your enviornment needs to be set up prior to the application launch and prior to running kinit in a .profile or similar like so:   export KRB5CCNAME=/path/to/some/file Hope this helps, Brian ...
