Azure HDInsight authentication failure when connecting to HDInsight web portal

Question

After creating a new HDInsight Cluster, I am receiving the following error when I provide the authentication information and try to access the HDInsight web portal at https://{Cluster Name}.azurehdinsight.net/

403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.

Have tried recreating clusters, different browsers, clearing browser cache but have not been able to login. Pls suggest.

Answer 1

The interactive console has been discontinued and the team now recommends the usage of Windows Azure PowerShell

Answer 2

You mention clearing browser cache, have you also tried clearing cookies as well? I have had this problem after a failed login to the HDInsight portal and needed to clear cookies and cache.

Also if you have an active directory integration and are trying to login with a domain account, try logging in with the cluster user that you created at deployment instead.

Answer 3

Use windows azure management portal instead, https://manage.windowsazure.com.
