Disable Client Server authentication in Hue

Question

I am using a VM setup that has a Hive cluster. I got this from a friend with pre-existing cluster and configurations. The cluster is set to have Client/Server authentication and I want to disable it. How can I do it?

To disable the Client/Server authentication, you have to set the hive.server2.authentication property to NONE. For example:

<property>
  <name>hive.server2.authentication</name>
  <value>NONE</value>
  <description>
    Client authentication types.
       NONE: no authentication check
       LDAP: LDAP/AD based authentication
       KERBEROS: Kerberos/GSSAPI authentication
       CUSTOM: Custom authentication provider
               (Use with property hive.server2.custom.authentication.class)
  </description>
</property>
