Overview
Use this account type to connect to datasources that use Kerberos accounts. You can manage your Kerberos account for Hadoop using either SnapLogic Manager or Designer.
Prerequisites
- None.
Account Settings
Use the Create Account popup to create AWS S3 accounts:
All fields are required.
Parameter Name | Data Type | Description | Default Value | Example |
---|---|---|---|---|
Label | String | Unique name for the account. | N/A | Kerberos Account |
Client Principal | String | The client principal associated with the account. | N/A | snaplogic/EXAMPLE.COM@ATHENA.MIT.EDU |
Keytab File | String | Path to the Keytab file. | N/A | /keytabs/snaplogic.keytab |
Service Principal | String | The service principal associated with the account. Protocols supported: HDFS | N/A | krbtgt/EXAMPLE.COM@ATHENA.MIT.EDU |
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.
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
