When I use secure hbase client create table, throws accessDeniedException 'user is null'

["Pan,Jinyu" <pa...@baidu.com>]

When I use access secure hbase, the client throws AccessDeniedException 'Insufficient permissions for user 'null' (global, action=CREATE)'

Why? How to avoid it?

Are you following the steps at http://hbase.apache.org/book/security.html ?

What version of HBase?

You have this in your client and configurations?

<property>
 <name>hbase.rpc.engine</name>
 <value>org.apache.hadoop.hbase.ipc.SecureRpcEngine</value>
</property>

<property>
 <name>hadoop.security.authentication</name>
 <value>kerberos</value>
</property>

<property>
 <name>hbase.security.authentication</name>
 <value>kerberos</value>
</property>

Because "user null" usually means you haven't configured use of the
SecureRpcEngine.

An example working secure configuration:
