GSSException: No valid credentials provided (Mechanism level: Failed to find any Kerberos tgt) while connecting Polybase with Kerberos - kerberos

Question

We want to connect our SQL Server 2016 Enterprise via Polybase with our Kerberized OnPrem Hadoop-Cluster with Cloudera 5.14.
I followed the Microsoft PolyBase Guide to configure Polybase. After working few days on this topic I'm not able to continue because of an exception: javax.security.sasl.SaslException: GSS initiate failed [Caused by GSSException: No valid credentials provided (Mechanism level: Failed to find any Kerberos tgt)]
Microsoft has an built in diagnostic tool for troubleshooting the connectivity with PolyBase and Kerberos. On this troubleshooting guide from Microsoft there are 4 checkpoints and I'm stuck on checkpoint 4.
Short information about the checkpoints (where I'm successfull):
Checkpoint 1: Successfull! Authenticated against the KDC and received a TGT
Checkpoint 2: Successfull! Regarding troubleshooting guide PolyBase will make an attempt to access the HDFS and fail because the request did not contain the necessary Service Ticket.
Checkpoint 3: Sucessfull! A second hex dump indicates that SQL Server successfully used the TGT and acquired the applicable Service Ticket for the name node's SPN from the KDC.
Checkpoint 4: Not successfull SQL Server was authenticated by Hadoop using the ST (Service Ticket) and a session was granted to access the secured resource.

Auth failed for IP-ADRESS_SQL-SERVER:60484:null (GSS initiate failed) with true cause: (GSS initiate failed)
The confusing part for me is the log entry from our NameNode because AES128 CTS mode with HMAC SHA1-96 is already in the list of permitted enctypes as shown in krb5.conf and in Cloudera Manager UI
We appreciate your help!

Answer 1

The problem has itself taken care after we restarted the cluster.
I think the problem was that the krb5.conf file in our Hadoop-Cluster could not be distributed on all nodes because of some running services. There was also a warning in the Cloudera Manager about a stale configuration regarding Kerberos.
Many thanks to everyone!
