Apache Software Foundation Apache HBase Distributed Database — Default Password

Default username and password for the Apache Software Foundation Apache HBase Distributed Database: (blank) / (blank). Learn how to log in and how to change the default credentials.

Apache HBase ships with authentication entirely disabled by default. The official security model document states: 'In their default configuration, the REST and Thrift gateways do not perform authentication.' The HBase Master Web UI (port 16010) and RegionServer Web UI (port 16030) are reachable without any credentials. The documentation notes the defaults are only appropriate for development environments and recommends enabling Kerberos/SPNEGO or LDAP for production deployments.
