I'm installing a HDP 2.6.4 sandbox in Azure for testing. I install the the sandbox and everything is ok. Then I enable kerberos, seems everything works ok but failed in the last step: start service. It show the it cannot start the Timeline Server . The kerberos server is ok, for it is used for some existing Mongo DB and CDH kerberos authentication for a long time. Below is the detail error log, anyone has idea/suggestion for this type error ? I'm very appreciate for your input and comments. ==========================Timeline Server===================== resource_management.libraries.providers.hdfs_resource.WebHDFSCallException: Execution of 'curl -sS -L -w '%{http_code}' -X PUT --negotiate -u : 'http://sandbox-hdp.hortonworks.com:50070/webhdfs/v1/ats/done?op=SETPERMISSION&permission=755'' returned status_code=403. { "RemoteException": { "exception": "AccessControlException", "javaClassName": "org.apache.hadoop.security.AccessControlException", "message": "Permission denied. user=dr.who is not the owner of inode=done" }} And I find many other services have not been started , so I try to start them manually, but all failed. ==========================MapReduce2 - History Server===================== 2018-04-09 05:43:31,271 INFO service.AbstractService (AbstractService.java:noteFailure(272)) - Service org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.v2.hs.HistoryFileManager failed in state INITED;
