You can create an account from Designer or Manager. In Designer, when working on pipelines, every Snap that needs an account prompts you to create a new account or use an existing account. The accounts can be created in or used from:

  • Your private project folder: This folder contains the pipelines that will use the account.
  • Your Project Space’s shared folder: This folder is accessible to all the users that belong to the Project Space.
  • The global shared folder: This folder is accessible to all the users within an organization in the SnapLogic instance.

Account Configuration

In Manager, you can navigate to the required folder and create an account in it (see Accounts). To create an account for binary files:

  1. Click Create, then select Hadoop, then Kerberos.
  2. Supply an account label.
  3. Supply the necessary information.

  4. (Optional) Supply additional information on this account in the Notes field of the Info tab.
  5. Click Apply.
Warning

Avoid changing account credentials while pipelines using them are in progress. This may lead to unexpected results, including locking the account.

Note

Even though you pass both client and server principals here, the Snap only validates the client information and not the server information. This is because server validation requires information that is available only in the Snap's settings and not the Account settings.

Account Encryption

...

If you are using Standard Encryption, the High sensitivity settings under Enhanced Encryption are followed.

...

If you have the Enhanced Account Encryption feature, the following describes which fields are encrypted for each sensitivity level selected per each account.

Account:

  • HighKeytab File
  • Medium + HighKeytab File
  • Low + Medium + HighKeytab File


...

Warning

The security model configured for the Groundplex (SIMPLE or KERBEROS authentication) must match the security model of the remote server. Due to limitations of the Hadoop library, we are only able to create the necessary internal credentials for the configuration of the Groundplex.

Limitations

  • None.

Troubleshooting

  • None.
