Enabling LDAP authentication for HiveServer2 using OpenLdAP

Question

Hi. I am learning hive and I am setting up security to Hive cluster. I want to set LDAP authentication for the clusters. I practiced this for managed and unmanaged clusters. Now I want to know how to enable this using OpenLDAP. Can someone tell me?

Answer 1

To enable LDAP authentication using OpenLDAP, include the following properties in hive-site.xml:

<property>
  <name>hive.server2.authentication</name>
  <value>LDAP</value>
</property>
<property>
  <name>hive.server2.authentication.ldap.url</name>
  <value>LDAP_URL</value>
</property>
<property>
  <name>hive.server2.authentication.ldap.baseDN</name>
  <value>LDAP_BaseDN</value>
</property>
