Note: First made your topology file. Please find an attached example. knox-topology-file.xml knox-ad-ldap-upgraded-docus.pdf Above PDF file covered all practical concepts and some theory part. Step 1:- Install Knox on edge node or any node on the cluster. Step 2:- Start Knox service from Ambari,make sure your Ambari Server is already sync with LDAP. Step3:- Search your LDAP Server via below command ldapsearch -W -H ldap://ad2012.ansari.net -D binduser@ansari.net -b "dc=ansari,dc=net" ldapsearch -W -H ldaps://ad2012.ansari.net -D binduser@ansari.net -b "dc=ansari,dc=net" Step 4:- Create a master password for Knox: /usr/hdp/current/knox-server/data/security/keystores/gateway.jks /usr/hdp/2.6.4.0-91/knox/bin/knoxcli.sh create-master --force enter password then verify it Note:- (2.6.4.0-91 is my HDP versions select your hdp version /usr/hdp/XXXXXXX/) Step 5: Validate your topology file (your cluster name and toplogy file name should be same):- /usr/hdp/2.6.0.3-8/knox/bin/knoxcli.sh validate-topology --cluster walhdp Stpe 6: Validate your auth users:- sudo /usr/hdp/2.6.4.0-91/knox/bin/knoxcli.sh --d system-user-auth-test --cluster walhdp Step 7:- Change all below property and restart required services:- HDFS:- Core-site.xml: hadoop.proxyuser.knox.groups=* hadoop.proxyuser.knox.hosts=* HIVE:- webhcat.proxyuser.knox.groups=* webhcat.proxyuser.knox.hosts=* hive.server2.allow.user.substitution=true hive.server2.transport.mode=http hive.server2.thrift.http.port=10001 hive.server2.thrift.http.path=cliservice Oozie oozie.service.ProxyUserService.proxyuser.knox.groups=* oozie.service.ProxyUserService.proxyuser.knox.hosts=* Step 7 :- Try to access HDFS list status:- curl -vvv -i -k -u binduser -X GET https://hdp-node1.ansari.net:8443/gateway/walhdp/webhdfs/v1?op=LISTSTATUS curl -vvv -i -k -u binduser -X GET https://namenodehost:8443/gateway/walhdp(clustername)/webhdfs/v1?op=LISTSTATUS Step 8:- Try to access hive beeline !connect jdbc:hive2://hdp node1.ansari.net:8443/;ssl=true;sslTrustStore=/home/faheem/gateway.jks;trustStorePassword=bigdata;transportMode=http;httpPath=gateway/walhdp/hive entery username: binduser password for binduser: XXXXXXXXXX Step 9: To access Web UI’s via knox using below lines:- Ambari Ui access https://ambari-server-fqdn-or ambari-server-ip:8443/gateway/walhdp/ambari/ HDFS UI's access https://namenode-fqdn:8443/gateway/walhdp/hdfs/ HBase access https://hbase-master-fqdn:8443/gateway/walhdp/hbase/webui/ YARN UI's https://yarn-master-fqdn:8443/gateway/walhdp/yarn/cluster/apps/RUNNING Resource Manager:- https://resource-manager-fqdn:8443/gateway/walhdp/resourcemanager/v1/cluster curl -ivk -u binduser:Ansari123 " https://hdp-node3.ansari.net:8443/gateway/walhdp/resourcemanager/v1/cluster" curl -ivk -u binduser:Ansari123" https://localhost:8443/gateway/walhdp/resourcemanager/v1/cluster" Ranger Web UI's https://ranger-admin-fqdn:8443/gateway/walhdp/ranger/index.html OOzie UI's https://oozie-server-fqdn:8443/gateway/walhdp/oozie/ Zeppline https://zeppline-fqdn:8443/gateway/walhdp/zeppelin/ Thanks Ansari Faheem Ahmed HDPCA Certified ...
