I have installed knox server and done all the steps mentioned on hortonworks site. When i ran the below command on the sandbox , it gives me the proper output.

curl http://sandbox:50070/webhdfs/v1?op=GETHOMEDIRECTORY

Now i have another VM running fedora . I am assuming it as external client and trying to do external access but getting no output:-

 curl -k https://<sandbox-ip>:8443/gateway/sandbox/webhdfs/v1?op=GETHOMEDIRECTORY

Can someone point me whats wrong with my settings.

Not sure about your topology but if you are using the default one (sandbox) you probably need to add basic auth e.g.

curl -k -u guest:guest-password -X GET https://<sandbox-  ip>:8443/gateway/sandbox/webhdfs/v1?op=GETHOMEDIRECTORY

Also check the logs at 

<knox_install>/logs/gateway.log

They should tell you more about what went wrong.

Good luck !

  • ..it helped..but have one question..once knox is running why the dafault login is still working..!connect jdbc:hive2://sandbox:10001/default;transportMode=http;httpPath=cliservice...ideally it should not..all traffic should go over knox...or i need to enable something at hive server2.. – anwaar_hell Oct 11 '16 at 06:29
  • Glad it worked ! the reason your default login (I am assuming you mean direct connection) works is because you need to lock it down by preventing connections other than Knox. – Sandeep More Oct 11 '16 at 13:41
  • ..yes i mean direct connection via port 10001 ..without user and password ...by locking what you mean...and what methods... – anwaar_hell Oct 11 '16 at 14:52
  • Make sure you enabled demo LDAP server for knox – Nithin Dec 16 '16 at 12:09
