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.

When the script runs, it updates the name of the principal in BDD's configuration files. Note that you can't change the primary component of the principal.

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

To update the Kerberos principal:

  1. On the Admin Server, edit the current BDD principal or create a new one.
    Be sure to keep the primary component of the principal the same as the original.
  2. Go to $BDD_HOME/BDD_manager/bin and run: 
    ./bdd-admin.sh publish-config kerberos -p <principal>
    Where <principal> is the name of the new or modified principal.
  3. Restart your cluster so the changes take effect: 
    ./bdd-admin.sh restart [-t <minutes>]
