Step 5: Configure the Kerberos Default Realm in the Cloudera Manager Admin Console

Minimum Required Role: Full Administrator

  Important: Hadoop is unable to use a non-default realm. The Kerberos default realm is configured in the libdefaults property in the /etc/krb5.conf file on every host in the cluster: 
[libdefaults]
    default_realm = EXAMPLE.COM
  1. In the Cloudera Manager Admin Console, select Administration > Settings.
  2. Click the Security category, and enter the Kerberos realm for the cluster in the Kerberos Security Realm field (for example, EXAMPLE.COM or HADOOP.EXAMPLE.COM) that you configured in the krb5.conf file.
  3. Click Save Changes.
