    This may be a known issue rather than an enhancement. WKC is reporting the following error when using a Kerberos connection, not Knox. "Error: Connection Failed, SCAPI Error: The environment variable KRB5_CONF_FILE is not set (error code DATA_IO_ERROR)". It seems that an environment variable associated with the connection is not set properly when previewing the data, perhaps for the analytics engine.

    Hi David, thank you for providing the info. I've opened an issue for the team to investigate.

    What version of CPD is the customer on?
