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.

You must provide the script with the absolute path to the krb5.conf file on all BDD nodes. When it runs, it updates the location of krb5.conf in BDD's configuration files.

For more information on updating your Kerberos configuration with bdd-admin, see kerberos.

To change the location of the krb5.conf file:

  1. On all BDD nodes, move the krb5.conf file to the new location.
    The location is arbitrary, but must be the same on all nodes.
  2. On the Admin Server, go to $BDD_HOME/BDD_manager/bin and run: 
    ./bdd-admin.sh kerberos -k <file>
    Where <file> is the new absolute path to krb5.conf.
  3. Restart your cluster so the changes take effect: 
    ./bdd-admin.sh restart
    The above command will shut the cluster down gracefully, which may take a long time. You can optionally specify -t <minutes> to force a shut down sooner.
