Connecting to Secure Clusters with Kerberos Enabled

  1. Create a Kerberos directory on a local system.
  2. Copy hive.service.keytab from un0 node (HiveServe2 node) of the ODH cluster to the Kerberos directory, and then rename it to oac.keytab.
  3. Copy /etc/krb5.conf from un0 node of the ODH cluster to the Kerberos directory and rename it to krb5conf.
  4. Update admin_server and kdc information in krb5conf with the public IP of cluster's mn0 node instead of hostname.
  5. Create a file named service_details.json inside Kerberos directory. For example: 
    
{
 "Host" : "<Public IP of HiveServer2 node(un0)>",
 "Port" : "10000",
 "ServicePrincipalName" : "hive/<FQDN of HiveServer2 node(un0)>@<REALM_NAME>"
}
  6. Create a zip for the Kerberos directory. For example: 
    $ ls -1 kerberos
krb5conf
oac.keytab
service_details.json
 
$ zip -r SSLKerberos.zip kerberos/*
  7. To create a connection for Kerberos enabled ODH Open the navigation menu and select Analytics & AI. Under Analytics, select Analytics Cloud.
  8. To connect to an Oracle Analytics Cloud instance, select the compartment in which you created the instance.

    If needed, create an instance. See Creating an OAC Instance.

  9. Select the instance name.
  10. Select Analytics Home Page.
  11. Select Create, and then select Connection.
  12. Select Apache Hive.
  13. Enter a name for the connection, and then enter the remaining details with the following specifics:
    • Authentication Type: Select Kerberos
    • Client Credentials: Select SSLKerberos.zip from the local system
    • Authentication: Select Always use these credentials
  14. Select Save.
  15. To verify the connection, go to the OAC home page and select Connect to Your Data.
  16. Select the connection you created.
    If successful, the hive database tables are listed.
