Reply To: [URGENT] Re-Enable Kerberos after changing Realm fails

Hi Gerd…

To get unstuck, you need to delete the Kerberos Descriptor via the REST API after disabling Kerberos. Then you should be able to re-enable Kerberos with a clean slate.

Here is the curl call you can use to delete the Kerberos Descriptor:

curl -H "X-Requested-By:ambari" -u admin:admin -X DELETE http://{AMBARI_SERVER}:8080/api/v1/clusters/{CLUSTER_NAME}/artifacts/kerberos_descriptor


You will need to change

• {AMBARI_SERVER} to the hostname or IP address of your Ambari server
• {CLUSTER_NAME} to the name of your cluster

if you changed the administrator credentials, you will need to change them as well (i.e., -u username:password)
