Microsoft Kerberos Hive ODBC Error: "No authority could be contacted for authentication"

I encountered below error in my laptop while using the ODBC to Get Data in Power BI Desktop. 

 

My environment:

Hadoop

  • Cloudera quickstart VM 5.13
  • Kerberized with MIT

Laptop

  • Windows 10 64 Bit:
  • Microsoft Hive ODBC 64 bit 2.1
  • MIT Kerberos Ticket Manager installed

 

/etc/krb5.conf
[libdefaults]
default_realm = CLOUDERA
dns_lookup_kdc = false
dns_lookup_realm = false
ticket_lifetime = 86400
renew_lifetime = 604800
forwardable = true
default_tgs_enctypes = rc4-hmac
default_tkt_enctypes = rc4-hmac
permitted_enctypes = rc4-hmac
udp_preference_limit = 1
kdc_timeout = 3000
[realms]
CLOUDERA = {
kdc = quickstart.cloudera
admin_server = quickstart.cloudera
}
[domain_realm]

 

Connect to Kerberized Hive thru Microsoft Hive ODBC:

From Power BI, Get Data -> ODBC -> select my ODBC

I entered username and password in Database tab:

username: cloudera

password: cloudera

 

Error in Power BI while connecting to Hive through the ODBC:

Details: "ODBC: ERROR [HY000] [Microsoft][Hardy] (34) Error from server: SASL(-1): generic failure: Failed to initialize security context: No authority could be contacted for authentication.
.
ERROR [HY000] [Microsoft][Hardy] (34) Error from server: SASL(-1): generic failure: Failed to initialize security context: No authority could be contacted for authentication.

 

I tested the ODBC in 64 Bit ODBC Admin without any errors. In addition, I am able to use the ODBC in DBeaver. 

 

Please shed some light on this error. 

 

Thank you.
