Hi @Tom McCuch, I tried these steps but it does not help. I am new to hadoop environment, that's why so much confusion So what I am trying to do is: I have a downloaded a hortonworks and changed it's ip address to be in same network as my BI tools. Now I was trying to follow the steps mentioned to establish connection between BI tool and hadoop by following: https://community.microstrategy.com/t5/Server/TN248914-Overview-and-installation-of-the-MicroStrategy-10/ta-p/248914 I am not sure about slave and master node, all I did is copying my this( bde-1.0-2.4.0.2.1.1.0-385-SNAPSHOT-dist.tar.gz ) folder to edge(master node directory) and in slaves file(step 13) added ip address of this vm(which I changed) Now when I follow step 17 it asks me password and I am not sure what password, its not hadoop's password that I changed, not default. Any help would be great thanks suno ... View more

H ,@Predrag Minovic, I tried running hostname -f and it gave slave's address. I was using the same address using root/hdfs but it still prompt me for password to connect and it takes none of the passwords i can think of. It prompts me like: root@slaves_address password: Can i reset or bypass this password If from root i do ssh slaves_address it does not ask for password its just while running that command from bin folder. ...
