Before you can extract catalog source metadata, get information from the Apache Atlas administrator.
Perform the following prerequisite tasks:
•Verify authentication.
•Verify permissions.
•Import SSL certificate to the JRE folder of the Informatica Secure Agent.
•Get Apache Atlas source information.
Verify authentication
To extract Apache Atlas metadata, verify that you have the URL to access Apache Atlas and connect to the Atlas REST API.
You need to provide the Kerberos principal for authentication when you configure the Apache Atlas catalog source in Metadata Command Center.
Complete the following tasks:
•Add details of the Kerberos server to the host file located in the Secure Agent machine in the following format: <ip_address> <hostname>
On a Windows machine, the host file is available in the following path: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
On a Linux machine, the host file is available in the following path: /etc/hosts
•Copy the Atlas Keytab file from the Hadoop cluster to any location on the Secure Agent machine.
•Enable Atlas hook from Hadoop Distributed File System and Apache Hive configurations so that Apache Atlas can read the metadata.
• Copy the Kerberos configuration file from the Hadoop cluster to any location on the Secure Agent machine. You can modify the Kerberos configuration file as per requirement.
The following code shows a sample Kerberos configuration file:
Note: If the Kerberos encryption algorithms are not compatible with Java Standard Edition version 11, you can add the allow_weak_crypto=true property in the Kerberos configuration file.
Verify permissions
Verify that you have the following account and permissions:
•A user account to access and extract metadata from the Apache Atlas source system.
•Read permission for the account to access the Apache Atlas source system.
Get Apache Atlas source information
Before you configure the catalog source, ask the Apache Atlas administrator for connection information that you need to configure the catalog source.
Note: You don't need to create a connection object for Apache Atlas. You provide this information when you configure the catalog source.
The following table describes the properties that you need:
Property
Description
Base URL
URL to access Apache Atlas and connect to the Atlas REST API.
Principal
The Kerberos principal used for authentication.
Keytab File Path
The absolute path to the Kerberos keytab file located on the Secure Agent machine used for authentication.
Configuration File Path
The absolute path to the Kerberos configuration file located on the Secure Agent machine used for authentication.
