Hadoop and trusted MiTv5 Kerberos with Active Directory

Listen:

For actuality here a example how to enable an MiTv5 Kerberos <=> Active Directory trust just from scratch. Should work out of the box, just replace the realms:

HADOOP1.INTERNAL = local server (KDC)
ALO.LOCAL = local kerberos realm
AD.REMOTE = AD realm

with your servers. The KDC should be inside your hadoop network, the remote AD can be somewhere.

1. Install the bits

At the KDC server (CentOS, RHEL - other OS' should have nearly the same bits):
yum install krb5-server krb5-libs krb5-workstation -y

At the clients (hadoop nodes):
yum install krb5-libs krb5-workstation -y

Install Java's JCE policy (see Oracle documentation) on all hadoop nodes.

2. Configure your local KDC


/etc/krb5.conf

[libdefaults]
default_realm = ALO.LOCAL
dns_lookup_realm = false
dns_lookup_kdc = false
kdc_timesync = 1
ccache_type = 4
forwardable = true
proxiable = true
fcc-mit-ticketflags = true
max_life = 1d
max_renewable_life = 7d
renew_lifetime = 7d
default_tgs_enctypes = aes128-cts arcfour-hmac
default_tkt_enctypes = aes128-cts arcfour-hmac

[realms]
ALO.LOCAL = {
kdc = hadoop1.
internal:88
admin_server = hadoop1.internal:749
max_life = 1d
max_renewable_life = 7d
}
AD.REMOTE = {
kdc = ad.remote.internal:88
admin_server = ad.remote.internal:749
max_life = 1d
max_renewable_life = 7d
}

[domain_realm]
alo.local = ALO.LOCAL
.alo.local = ALO.LOCAL

ad.internal = AD.INTERNAL
.ad.internal = AD.INTERNAL

[logging]
kdc = FILE:/var/log/krb5kdc.log
admin_server = FILE:/var/log/kadmin.log
default = FILE:/var/log/krb5lib.log


/var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kdc.conf

[kdcdefaults]
kdc_ports = 88
kdc_tcp_ports = 88

[realms]
ALO.LOCAL = {
#master_key_type = aes256-cts
acl_file = /var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kadm5.acl
dict_file = /usr/share/dict/words
admin_keytab = /var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kadm5.keytab
supported_enctypes = aes256-cts:normal aes128-cts:normal des3-hmac-sha1:normal arcfour-hmac:normal des-hmac-sha1:normal des-cbc-md5:normal des-cbc-crc:normal
}
 
/var/kerberos/krb5kdc/kadm5.acl
*/admin@ALO.ALT *

Create the realm on your local KDC and start the services

kdb5_util create -s -r ALO.LOCAL
service kadmin restart
service krb5kdc restart
chkconfig kadmin on
chkconfig krb5kdc on

Create the admin principal

kadmin.local -q "addprinc root/admin" 

3. Create the MiTv5 trust in AD

Using the Windows - Power(!sic) - Shell
ksetup /addkdc ALO.LOCAL HADOOP1.INTERNAL
netdom trust ALO.LOCAL /DOMAIN: AD.REMOTE /add /realm /passwordt: passw0rd
ksetup /SetEncTypeAttr ALO.LOCAL RC4-HMAC-MD5 AES128-CTS-HMAC-SHA1-96 AES256-CTS-HMAC-SHA1-96 DES-CBC-CRC DES-CBC-MD5

=> On Windows 2003 this works, too:
ktpass /ALO.LOCAL /DOMAIN:AD.REMOTE /TrustEncryp aes128-cts arcfour-hmac

=> On Windows 2008 you have to add:
ksetup /SetEncTypeAttr ALO.LOCAL aes128-cts arcfour-hmac

4. Create the AD trust in MiTv5

kadmin.local: addprinc krbtgt/ALO.LOCAL@AD.REMOTE
password: passw0rd

5. Configure hadoop's mapping rules


core-site.xml

<property>
<name>hadoop.security.auth_to_local</name>
<value>RULE:[1:$1@$0](.*@\QAD.REMOTE\E$)s/@\QAD.REMOTE\E$//
RULE:[2:$1@$0](.*@\QAD.REMOTE\E$)s/@\QAD.REMOTE\E$//
DEFAULT</value>
</property>

Done. Now you should be able to get an ticket from your AD which let you work with your hadoop installation:

#> kinit alo.alt@AD.REMOTE
password:
#> klist
Ticket cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_500
Default principal: alo.alt@AD.REMOTE

Beyond Ctrl+F - Use LLM's For PDF Analysis

PDFs are everywhere, seemingly indestructible, and present in our daily lives at all thinkable and unthinkable positions. We've all got mountains of them, and even companies shouting about "digital transformation" haven't managed to escape their clutches. Now, I'm a product guy, not a document management guru. But I started thinking: if PDFs are omnipresent in our existence, why not throw some cutting-edge AI at the problem? Maybe Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) could be the answer. Don't get me wrong, PDF search indexes like Solr exist, but they're basically glorified Ctrl+F. They point you to the right file, but don't actually help you understand what's in it. And sure, Microsoft Fabric's got some fancy PDF Q&A stuff, but it's a complex beast with a hefty price tag. That's why I decided to experiment with LLMs and RAG. My idea? An intelligent knowledge base built on top of our existing P...

Deal with corrupted messages in Apache Kafka

Under some strange circumstances, it can happen that a message in a Kafka topic is corrupted. This often happens when using 3rd party frameworks with Kafka. In addition, Kafka < 0.9 does not have a lock on Log.read() at the consumer read level, but does have a lock on Log.write(). This can lead to a rare race condition as described in KAKFA-2477 [1]. A likely log entry looks like this: ERROR Error processing message, stopping consumer: (kafka.tools.ConsoleConsumer$) kafka.message.InvalidMessageException: Message is corrupt (stored crc = xxxxxxxxxx, computed crc = yyyyyyyyyy Kafka-Tools Kafka stores the offset of each consumer in Zookeeper. To read the offsets, Kafka provides handy tools [2]. But you can also use zkCli.sh, at least to display the consumer and the stored offsets. First we need to find the consumer for a topic (> Kafka 0.9): bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --zookeeper management01:2181 --describe --group test Prior to Kafka 0.9, the only way to get this in...

Why Is Customer Obsession Disappearing?

 It's wild that even with all the cool tech we've got these days, like AI solving complex equations and doing business across time zones in a flash, so many companies are still struggling with the basics: taking care of their customers.The drama around Coinbase's customer support is a prime example of even tech giants messing up. And it's not just Coinbase — it's a big-picture issue for the whole industry. At some point, the idea of "customer obsession" got replaced with "customer automation," and now we're seeing the problems that came with it. "Cases" What Not to Do Coinbase, as main example, has long been synonymous with making cryptocurrency accessible. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or a seasoned trader, their platform was once the gold standard for user experience. But lately, their customer support practices have been making headlines for all the wrong reasons: Coinbase - Stuck in the Loop:  Users have reported being caugh...
