title: Spring Boot Micro-service fails Kerberos Authentication when deployed on Pivotal Cloud Foundry Platform
body: <p>We have developed a Spring Boot Application to query data from Hbase on HDP 2.5. <br>
  The application works fine when we run it on our local windows machines as it is able to find the jaas.conf &amp; krb5.conf file which have been kept under resources folder of the application and we have provided them as system properties in our code as e.g.<br>
  <b><code>System.setProperties("javax.security.auth.useSubjectCredsOnly","false");
  System.setProperty("java.security.krb5.conf","D:\\host\\workspace\\projectname\\src\\main\\resources\\krb5.conf");</code> </b> 
  <br><br>
  However when we deploy in PCF it is unable to read those file which are set as system properties. <br><br>
  <b>Question</b><br>
  What is the way to set environment variables in PCF ? <br>
  How do we place files in PCF so that they are available to the classpath of an application ?</p>
