Look at the _kerberos._tcp.dc._msdcs.AD.COM SRV records in your AD.COM zone. 
That’s how Windows clients locate a KDC within the domain. You may be able to 
set up something similar for the Hadoop.com zone pointing to node1.hadoop.com

Subject: [NTSysADM] Kerberos question


We are working on setting up Hadoop in our environment. Everything is working 
fine. I just have some questions around Kerberos authentication, hoping someone 
on the list can shed some light on this for me. For the various Hadoop 
components there are separate authentication points. Right now I’m only 
interested in the HDFS component. On the Linux side, they have setup a Kerberos 
realm. Then a cross-domain trust is setup between the Linux realm and AD. All 
that works fine, no issues. What I wanted clarification on is specifically this:

ksetup /addkdc HADOOP.COM node1.hadoop.com
netdom trust HADOOP.COM /Domain: AD.COM /add /realm /passwordt:HortonworkS4554
ksetup /SetEncTypeAttr HADOOP.COM DES-CBC-CRC DES-CBC-MD5 RC4-HMAC-MD5 
AES128-CTS-HMAC-SHA1-96 AES256-CTS-HMAC-SHA1-96

Specifically the necessity for the first command. I know what it does, it 
creates a registry value on the DC you run this on 
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\LSA\Kerberos\Domains), 
that points you to a KDC for the realm. What I’m not clear on is why this is 
necessary. My guess is that there is no other mechanism of discovery for this, 
since it’s Kerberos and not DNS. If that is the case, I’m surprised there isn’t 
a DNS record that could be created and used for this discovery purpose.

Thanks,
