Add a user in FreeIPA
CDP Professional Edition uses FreeIPA to deploy services such as Kerberos and LDAP for security, authentication, and user management. This topic describes how to add a user in FreeIPA and use that user to log on to Cloudera Manager and the Data-Service Management Console.
Prerequisites
An SSH tunnel is established and the FreeIPA web UI is accessible at http://cdp-utility-1-2. For more information, see Access the web UI of a Cloudera Manager service component through an SSH tunnel.
Step 1. Log on to the FreeIPA web UI
The FreeIPA username is admin. The password is the Cloudera Manager password that you set when you created the cluster.
Step 2. Add a user
In the FreeIPA web UI, choose Identity > Users > Add.
In the User login field, enter a username. This username is used to log on to Cloudera Manager and the Data-Service Management Console. In the New Password field, enter a password. This password is used for authentication. Complete the other fields as required.
After the user is added, you can log on to Cloudera Manager as the new user. If you use the Professional Edition, you can also log on to the Management Console of the Data-Service cluster as the new user.
