Regenerating a Resource Principal Token

Regenerate a Big Data Service cluster resource principal tokens from the Resource details page.

Resource principals are automatically refreshed before its expiry. Big Data Service tries to refresh the token after 80% of its lifetime/ttl. For the cases where manual regenerate is needed, Big Data Service supports force refresh of the tokens.

Big Data Service refreshes the token after the existing token passes 80% of it's life span. For example, if the life span is 10 hours, Big Data Service begins to retry by the 8th hours.

Note

  • For automatic renewal and distribution of the tokens to the nodes, Ambari uses bigdata-service-configurator.
  • We recommend using RPST token within cluster nodes for automatic renewal.
  • In case of failures, Big Data Service retries up to three times at 10 minute intervals.
