     Specify the following options:

     • Enable Kerberos auth: select to use the Kerberos authentication protocol.

     • Krb5 config file: a file that contains Kerberos configuration information.

     • JAAS login config file: a file that consists of one or more entries; each specifies which underlying authentication technology should be used for a particular application or applications.

     • Use subject credentials only: allows the mechanism to obtain credentials from some vendor-specific location. Select this checkbox and provide the username and password.

     • To include additional login information into PyCharm log, select the Kerberos debug logging and JGSS debug logging.

       Note that the Kerberos settings are effective for all you Spark connections.
