Secure password usage with CLI ?

[44619e163d12cf5f0d39]

We are using CLI and we need to have a secure method of providing username/password.

The challange is that we can not simply enter the credentials in the command-line since it is plain text.

Hi @Mad Hatter? ,

If you are using Kerberos then you can use a keytab file.

Details can be found in https://docs.trifacta.com/display/r042/Set+up+for+a+Kerberos-enabled+Hadoop+cluster#SetupforaKerberos-enabledHadoopcluster-EnableuseofKerberoskeytabbyCommandLineInterface?os_username=tr0%40lfn2gg2usr%24&os_password=%28f%2524X%3BLUY80%3A4

Make sure you use the following steps prior to executing the CLI command

• export KRB5_CLIENT_KTNAME=/opt/trifacta/<username>.keytab
• export GSS_KRB5_NT_PRINCIPAL_NAME=<username>
• kinit <username> -k -t username.keytab
