Kerberos is a network authentication protocol that uses secret-key cryptography to provide secure authentication over unsecured networks.
You can use Kerberos authentication for connecting to a data source, for example Hive, on Cloud Native (Kubernetes) and Hadoop deployments of Collibra DQ.
Note Kerberos authentication is only supported for Kubernetes and Hadoop deployments of Collibra DQ, but not for Standalone deployments.
Authentication types
We support Kerberos password manager, keytab, password, and ticket granting ticket (TGT) for many of our supported data sources. For more information on which data sources support Kerberos authentication, see the supported data sources page.
Note Ensure that you configure the krb5.conf file before you attempt to authenticate with Kerberos.
