HTTP error 400 – Bad Request – during REST call (POST, PUT, DELETE) to Ambari server

Ambari Server now expects an additional HTTP header called "X-Requested-By" for all non-GET calls. The value can be set to anything. For example:

Code Block
curl -i -H 'X-Requested-By: mycompany' -X POST -d '{"Clusters": {"version": "HDP-2.0.6"}}' --user admin:admin http://hadoop1.mycompany.com:8080/api/v1/clusters/cluster1

#Spaces in manager DN/Base DN causing login issues in Ambari

Note that there are some issues with Ambari current release 1.2.5 in case you have spaces in baseDN/managerDN. Please take a look at: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ambari-3006.

...

The

...

fix

...

will

...

be

...

available

I

...

have

...

created

...

a

...

jar

...

with

...

the

...

patch

...

applied

...

on

top

...

of

...

branch-1.2.5.

...

The

...

jar

...

is

...

posted

...

at

...

http://people.apache.org/~mahadev/ambari/ambari-server-1.2.5.17.jar.

...

Download

...

the

...

above

...

jar

...

and

...

follow

...

the

...

following

...

steps

...

for

...

fixing

...

the

...

issue:

...

  • Stop

...

  • ambari

...

  • server

...

  • using
Code Block


{code}
ambari-server stop
{code}

* Replace the ambari server jar with the downloaded jar

{code}
cp <download
  • Replace the ambari server jar with the downloaded jar. Please backup the ambari-server jar before you overwrite in case you run into issues.
Code Block
cp <downloaded_ambari_server_jar> /usr/lib/ambari-server/ambari-server-1.2.5.17.jar
{code
  • Restart Ambari Server
Code Block
}

* Restart Ambari Server

{code}
ambari-server start
{code}

This

...

should

...

fix

...

the

issue

...

with
