# Kinit Auxiliary Service
In order to work with a kerberos-enabled cluster, Kyuubi provides this kinit auxiliary service.
It will periodically re-kinit with to keep the Ticket Cache fresh.
## Installing and Configuring the Kerberos Clients
Usually, Kerberos client is installed as default. You can validate it using `klist` tool.
```bash
$ klist -V
Kerberos 5 version 1.15.1
```
If the client is not installed, you should install it ahead based on the OS platform that you prepare to run Kyuubi.
`krb5.conf` is a configuration file for tuning up the creation of Kerberos ticket cache.
The default location is `/etc` on Linux,
and we can use `KRB5_CONFIG` environmental variable to overwrite the location of the configuration file.
Replace or configure `krb5.conf` to point to the KDC.
## Kerberos Ticket
Kerberos client is aimed to generate a Ticket Cache file.
Then, Kyuubi can use this Ticket Cache to authenticate with those kerberized services,
e.g. HDFS, YARN, and Hive Metastore server, etc.
A Kerberos ticket cache contains a service and a client principal names,
lifetime indicators, flags, and the credential itself, e.g.
```bash
$ klist
Ticket cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_5441
Default principal: spark/kyuubi.host.name@KYUUBI.APACHE.ORG
Valid starting Expires Service principal
2020-11-25T13:17:18 2020-11-26T13:17:18 krbtgt/KYUUBI.APACHE.ORG@KYUUBI.APACHE.ORG
renew until 2020-12-02T13:17:18
```
Kerberos credentials can be stored in Kerberos ticket cache.
For example, `/tmp/krb5cc_5441` in the above case.
They are valid for relatively short period. So, we always need to refresh it for long-running services like Kyuubi.

When `hadoop.security.authentication` is set to `KERBEROS`, in `$HADOOP_CONF_DIR/core-site` or `$KYUUBI_HOME/conf/kyuubi-defaults.conf`,
it indicates that we are targeting a secured cluster, then we need to specify `kyuubi.kinit.principal` and `kyuubi.kinit.keytab` for authentication.
Kyuubi will use this `principal` to impersonate client users,
so the cluster should enable it to do impersonation for some particular user from some particular hosts.
For example,
```bash
hadoop.proxyuser.<user name in principal>.groups *
hadoop.proxyuser.<user name in principal>.hosts *
```
