Error connecting to Hive through Knox in a secure cluster

When connecting to Hive either using beeline or the jdbc driver a HTTP 500 error is returned. This only occurs in a kerberized cluster and works fine otherwise.

Example log snippet:

java.sql.SQLException: Could not open client transport with JDBC Uri: jdbc:hive2://ip-172-31-33-238.ec2.internal:8443/;ssl=true;sslTrustStore=%2Fgrid%2F0%2Fhadoopqe%2Fartifacts%2Fknox%2Fgateway.jks;trustStorePassword=knoxsecret?hive.server2.transport.mode=http;hive.server2.thrift.http.path=/gateway/sandbox/hive: Could not create http connection to jdbc:hive2://ip-172-31-33-238.ec2.internal:8443/;ssl=true;sslTrustStore=%2Fgrid%2F0%2Fhadoopqe%2Fartifacts%2Fknox%2Fgateway.jks;trustStorePassword=knoxsecret?hive.server2.transport.mode=http;hive.server2.thrift.http.path=/gateway/sandbox/hive.
