Configuring DataStax Enterprise for Kerberos authentication
Add the options to the DSE configuration files to enable Kerberos authentication.
The cassandra.yaml and dse.yaml files must be edited on each node to enable Kerberos authentication. Add the Kerberos authenticator to cassandra.yaml and add the Kerberos options to dse.yaml.
The location of the dse.yaml file depends on the
type of installation:
Installer-Services | /etc/dse/dse.yaml |
Package installations | /etc/dse/dse.yaml |
Installer-No Services | install_location/resources/dse/conf/dse.yaml |
Tarball installations | install_location/resources/dse/conf/dse.yaml |
The location of the
cassandra.yaml file depends on
the type of installation:
Package installations | /etc/dse/cassandra/cassandra.yaml |
Tarball installations | install_location/resources/cassandra/conf/cassandra.yaml |
