Authenticate scripts on HDFS using key.tab file

How to authenticate scripts on hadoop hdfs in a kerberos environment using key-tab file. we get GSS authentication error

Solution 
  • kinit -kt `whoami`.keytab `whoami`@INTRANET.SERVER.COM

    placing the key-tab file in hdfs user home folder and adding above in start of all scripts worked for me.
