Sparkmagic Kerberos authentication issue

[greg-kan]

Hello.

I have been trying to set up kerberos authentication to Spark via Sparkmagic and Livy. As mentioned in the documentation, I am getting a ticket, but the authentication is not working and I am getting a 401 "Authentication required" error.

Questions:

1. Maybe I inserted "kerberos_auth_configuration" in the wrong place of config.json (I tryied diffren places although)? What is the right place for the "kerberos_auth_configuration" section?

   "authenticators": { "Kerberos": "sparkmagic.auth.kerberos.Kerberos", "kerberos_auth_configuration": { "mutual_authentication": 1, "service": "HTTP", "delegate": false, "force_preemptive": false, "principal": "username@DOMAIN_REALM", "sanitize_mutual_error_response": true, "send_cbt": true }, "None": "sparkmagic.auth.customauth.Authenticator", "Basic_Access": "sparkmagic.auth.basic.Basic" },

2. Is it possible to point to the kerberos ticket cache or to the keytab DIRECTLY? It seems that Sparkmagic does not see my ticket.

My client OS is Windows 10. My config.json file here:

{ "kernel_python_credentials" : { "username": "username@DOMAIN_REALM", "url": "http://server_url:8999", "auth": "Kerberos" },

Livy server must be protected by SPNEGO. This is true?
