[jira] [Commented] (FALCON-2325) Kerberos Service Key refresh does not happen

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FALCON-2325?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16371045#comment-16371045 ] 

Pallavi Rao commented on FALCON-2325:
-------------------------------------

The only advantage of the method, checkTGTAndReloginFromKeytab() as opposed to 

loginUserFromKeytab()

is that the method doesn't attempt actual login till the token is close to expiry (80% of ticket life has elapsed).

Upon, investigation found that 

UserGroupInformation.checkTGTAndReloginFromKeytab() has the following check:
{quote}if (isSecurityEnabled() && this.user.getAuthenticationMethod() == UserGroupInformation.AuthenticationMethod.KERBEROS && this.isKeytab)
{quote}
this.isKeytab consistently returns false, although initial login uses keytab. As a result, this method call becomes a no-op.

 

The workaround to overcome this is to do a regular login, loginUserFromKeytab() instead of  checkTGTAndReloginFromKeytab(), till the issue is addressed in hadoop-auth.
