Enabling the Properties File as the Keytab Source

Before pipelines can use the keytab source defined in the Transformer configuration properties, you must configure a Kerberos keytab and principal for Transformer.

  1. Copy the keytab file that contains the credentials for the Kerberos principal to the Transformer machine.

    The default location is the Transformer configuration directory, $TRANSFORMER_CONF.

  2. Modify the Transformer configuration file, $TRANSFORMER_CONF/transformer.propertiesIn Control Hub, edit the deployment. In the Configure Engine section, click Advanced Configuration. Then, click Transformer for Snowflake Configuration.
    Configure the following Kerberos properties in the file:
    Kerberos Property Description
    kerberos.client.principal Kerberos principal to use. Enter a service principal.
    kerberos.client.keytab Path and name of the Kerberos keytab file copied to the Transformer machine. Enter an absolute path or a path relative to the $TRANSFORMER_CONF directory.
  3. Restart Transformer.
