  4. Authenticating with Kerberos

About Kerberos authentication

DataStax Enterprise authentication with Kerberos protocol uses tickets to prove identity for nodes that communicate over non-secure networks.

Note: Also see Use Kerberos authentication for DSE Search in production and User authentication.
  • Kerberos guidelines
    An overview of Kerberos in DataStax Enterprise and recommendations.
  • Installing JCE for all encryption algorithm and AES-256 support
    DataStax recommends installing the JCE Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files to ensure support for all encryption algorithms and when using Oracle Java.
  • Setting up the environment for Kerberos
    Each node in your cluster requires DNS to be working properly, NTP to be enabled and the system time set, and the Kerberos client libraries installed.
  • Adding Kerberos service principals for each node in a cluster
    Steps for adding Kerberos principals.
  • Configuring DataStax Enterprise for Kerberos authentication
    Steps for adding the Kerberos authenticator to cassandra.yaml and Kerberos options to dse.yaml.
  • Creating Kerberos users
    Steps to create Kerberos users.
  • Enabling and disabling Kerberos authentication
    Turn Kerberos authorization on and off by changing the authenticator in cassandra.yaml.
  • Enabling cqlsh to use Kerberos
    Install required packages to use cqlsh with Kerberos.
  • Enabling dsetool to use Kerberos
    Steps to enable dsetool to use Kerberos authentication.
  • Using Kerberos authentication with Sqoop
    Sqoop can use Kerberos authentication when connecting to DataStax Enterprise nodes.
