Updating BDD's Kerberos configuration

Enabling Kerberos
BDD supports Kerberos 5+ to authenticate its communications with Hadoop. You can enable this for BDD to improve the security of your cluster and data.

Changing the location of the Kerberos krb5.conf file
If you want to change the location of the krb5.conf file, you can use the bdd-admin script to update BDD's configuration accordingly.

Updating the Kerberos keytab file
If you update BDD's current keytab file or create a new one, you can use the bdd-admin script to publish the new or updated file to the rest of the cluster.

Updating the Kerberos principal
If you edit the BDD principal or create a new one, you can use the bdd-admin script to publish your changes to the rest of the cluster.
