=================================== Coordinator Kerberos Authentication

The Presto coordinator can be configured to enable Kerberos authentication over HTTPS for clients, such as the :doc:Presto CLI </security/cli>, or the JDBC and ODBC drivers.

To enable Kerberos authentication for Presto, configuration changes are made on the Presto coordinator. No changes are required to the worker configuration; the worker nodes will continue to connect to the coordinator over unauthenticated HTTP. However, if you want to secure the communication between Presto nodes with SSL/TLS, configure :doc:/security/internal-communication.

Environment Configuration

.. |subject_node| replace:: Presto coordinator

.. _server_kerberos_services: .. include:: kerberos-services.fragment

.. _server_kerberos_configuration: .. include:: kerberos-configuration.fragment

.. _server_kerberos_principals:

Kerberos Principals and Keytab Files ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The Presto coordinator needs a Kerberos principal, as do users who are going to connect to the Presto coordinator. You will need to create these users in Kerberos using kadmin <http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-latest/doc/admin/admin_commands/kadmin_local.html>_.

In addition, the Presto coordinator needs a keytab file <http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-devel/doc/basic/keytab_def.html>_. After you create the principal, you can create the keytab file using :command:kadmin

.. code-block:: none

kadmin
> addprinc -randkey [email protected]
> addprinc -randkey presto/[email protected]
> ktadd -k /etc/presto/presto.keytab [email protected]
> ktadd -k /etc/presto/presto.keytab presto/[email protected]

.. include:: ktadd-note.fragment

Java Keystore File for TLS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ When using Kerberos authentication, access to the Presto coordinator should be through HTTPS. You can do it by creating a :ref:server_java_keystore on the coordinator.

System Access Control Plugin

A Presto coordinator with Kerberos enabled will probably need a :doc:/develop/system-access-control plugin to achieve the desired level of security.

Presto Coordinator Node Configuration

You must make the above changes to the environment prior to configuring the Presto coordinator to use Kerberos authentication and HTTPS. After making the following environment changes, you can make the changes to the Presto configuration files.

  • :ref:server_kerberos_services
  • :ref:server_kerberos_configuration
  • :ref:server_kerberos_principals
  • :ref:server_java_keystore
  • :doc:System Access Control Plugin </develop/system-access-control>

config.properties ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Kerberos authentication is configured in the coordinator node's :file:config.properties file. The entries that need to be added are listed below.

.. code-block:: none

http-server.authentication.type=KERBEROS

http.server.authentication.krb5.service-name=presto
http.server.authentication.krb5.service-hostname=presto.example.com
http.server.authentication.krb5.keytab=/etc/presto/presto.keytab
http.authentication.krb5.config=/etc/krb5.conf

http-server.https.enabled=true
http-server.https.port=7778

http-server.https.keystore.path=/etc/presto_keystore.jks
http-server.https.keystore.key=keystore_password

======================================================= ====================================================== Property Description ======================================================= ====================================================== http-server.authentication.type Authentication type for the Presto coordinator. Must be set to KERBEROS. http.server.authentication.krb5.service-name The Kerberos service name for the Presto coordinator. Must match the Kerberos principal. http.server.authentication.krb5.principal-hostname The Kerberos hostname for the Presto coordinator. Must match the Kerberos principal. This parameter is optional. If included, Presto will use this value in the host part of the Kerberos principal instead of the machine's hostname. http.server.authentication.krb5.keytab The location of the keytab that can be used to authenticate the Kerberos principal. http.authentication.krb5.config The location of the Kerberos configuration file. http-server.https.enabled Enables HTTPS access for the Presto coordinator. Should be set to true. http-server.https.port HTTPS server port. http-server.http2.enabled Enables HTTP2 server on the worker. http-server.https.keystore.path The location of the Java Keystore file that will be used to secure TLS. http-server.https.keystore.key The password for the keystore. This must match the password you specified when creating the keystore. ======================================================= ======================================================

.. note::

Monitor CPU usage on the Presto coordinator after enabling HTTPS. Java
prefers the more CPU-intensive cipher suites if you allow it to choose from
a big list. If the CPU usage is unacceptably high after enabling HTTPS,
you can configure Java to use specific cipher suites by setting
the ``http-server.https.included-cipher`` property to only allow
cheap ciphers. Non forward secrecy (FS) ciphers are disabled by default.
As a result, if you want to choose non FS ciphers, you need to set the
``http-server.https.excluded-cipher`` property to an empty list in order to
override the default exclusions.

.. code-block:: none

    http-server.https.included-cipher=TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256
    http-server.https.excluded-cipher=

The Java documentation lists the `supported cipher suites
<http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/security/SunProviders.html#SupportedCipherSuites>`_.

access-controls.properties ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

At a minimum, an :file:access-control.properties file must contain an access-control.name property. All other configuration is specific for the implementation being configured. See :doc:/develop/system-access-control for details.

.. _coordinator-troubleshooting:

Troubleshooting

Getting Kerberos authentication working can be challenging. You can independently verify some of the configuration outside of Presto to help narrow your focus when trying to solve a problem.

Kerberos Verification ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Ensure that you can connect to the KDC from the Presto coordinator using :command:telnet.

.. code-block:: none

$ telnet kdc.example.com 88

Verify that the keytab file can be used to successfully obtain a ticket using kinit <http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-1.12/doc/user/user_commands/kinit.html>_ and klist <http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-1.12/doc/user/user_commands/klist.html>_

.. code-block:: none

$ kinit -kt /etc/presto/presto.keytab [email protected]
$ klist

Java Keystore File Verification ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Verify the password for a keystore file and view its contents using :ref:troubleshooting_keystore

Additional Kerberos Debugging Information ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You can enable additional Kerberos debugging information for the Presto coordinator process by adding the following lines to the Presto jvm.config file

.. code-block:: none

-Dsun.security.krb5.debug=true
-Dlog.enable-console=true

-Dsun.security.krb5.debug=true enables Kerberos debugging output from the JRE Kerberos libraries. The debugging output goes to stdout, which Presto redirects to the logging system. -Dlog.enable-console=true enables output to stdout to appear in the logs.

The amount and usefulness of the information the Kerberos debugging output sends to the logs varies depending on where the authentication is failing. Exception messages and stack traces can also provide useful clues about the nature of the problem.
