I attempted to enable Kerberos and the first error I encountered had to do with the fact that my ambari server host wasn’t registered with Ambari…so I registered it and then tried again, but now I’m getting this error during the ‘Create Principals’ task (I’ve replaced my actual realm with EXAMPLE.COM):
Failed to create principal, ambari-qa_fhjycthb@EXAMPLE.COM – Failed to create service principal for ambari-qa_fhjycthb@EXAMPLE.COM
And subsequent error during ‘Create Keytabs’ task, but I assume it’s due to the previous task’s failure:
Failed to create keytab for ambari-qa_fhjycthb@EXAMPLE.COM, missing cached file
I have no idea how to do this manually (it looks like the principal name is random each time?). Any suggestions?
