Before Configuring or Managing Adapter Connections
Perform the following steps before configuring or managing adapter connections.
*To prepare to configure or manage adapter connections
1. Install webMethods Integration Server and Adapter for HDFS on the same computer.
For information about the installation process, see Installing and Uninstalling webMethods Adapter for HDFS.
2. Ensure that you have administrator privileges on Integration Server so that you can access the administrative screens of Adapter for HDFS.
3. Start your Integration Server and Integration Server Administrator, if they are not already running.
4. Ensure that the WmHDFSAdapter package is enabled.
For information about enabling the package, see Enabling Packages.
5. By using Designer, create a user-defined package to include the connection.
For information about managing packages for the adapter, see Package Management.
6. Configure Integration Server to use Kerberos, if you intend to implement Kerberos authentication for users accessing the HDFS cluster over Integration Server.
For Kerberos authentication to work with the adapter, include the following lines of code in Integration Server_directory \instances\instance_name\config\is_jaas.cnf:
HdfsClient {
com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule required
client=TRUE;
};
For more information about configuring Kerberos in Integration Server, see the webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide for your release.
