Failed to Start a Component Due to Account Lock

Symptom

In a new cluster, Kafka fails to be started. Authentication failure causes startup failure.

/home/omm/kerberos/bin/kinit -k -t /opt/XXXXXX/Bigdata/etc/2_15_ Broker /kafka.keytab kafka/hadoop.hadoop.com -c /opt/XXXXXX/Bigdata/etc/2_15_ Broker /11846 failed.

Cause Analysis

Check the Kerberos log /var/log/Bigdata/kerberos/krb5kdc.log. It is found that IP addresses outside of the cluster uses the kafka account for connections, causing multiple authentication failures. As a result, the kafka account is locked.

Solution

Log in to a node outside the cluster (for example, 192.168.1.93 in the cause analysis example) and disable Kafka authentication. Wait 5 minutes for the account to be unlocked.
