The Cloudera CDP Private Cloud Base deployment on PowerScale OneFS requires you to kerberize Cloudera Manager and PowerScale OneFS before you deploy the Cloudera runtime (CDP). This is the recommended deployment mode when the PowerScale custom service descriptor (CSD) is involved. You must kerberize the cluster for Cloudera Runtime services to operate (for example, Apache Ranger).
You can configure Kerberos security with OneFS using existing Microsoft Active Directory or MIT KDC installations. See the section Configuring Kerberos with OneFS in the Dell PowerScale OneFS CDP Installation Guide for more details about configuring an authentication provider.
