Configure Zeppelin for a Kerberos-Enabled Cluster
The Zeppelin daemon needs a Kerberos account and keytab to run in a Kerberized cluster.
- When you enable Kerberos on an Ambari-managed cluster, Ambari configures Kerberos for Zeppelin and automatically creates a Kerberos account and keytab for it. For more information, seeConfiguring Ambari and Hadoop for Kerberos. 
- If your cluster is not managed with Ambari and you plan to enable Kerberos for the Zeppelin server, seeCreating Service Principals and Keytab Files for HDP in the Hadoop Security Guide.
