Use Only SSPI

This option specifies how the connector handles Kerberos authentication: either with the SSPI plugin or with MIT Kerberos.

  • Enable For This DSN (1 in the DSN entry in the registry): The connector handles Kerberos authentication in the DSN connection by using the SSPI plugin instead of MIT Kerberos by default.
  • Enable For DSN-less Connections (1 in the connector configuration section of the registry): The connector handles Kerberos authentication in DSN-less connections by using the SSPI plugin instead of MIT Kerberos by default.
  • If you want all connections that use the Simba Apache Impala ODBC Connector to use the SSPI plugin by default, then enable Use Only SSPI for both DSN and DSN-less connections.

  • Disabled (0): The connector uses MIT Kerberos to handle Kerberos authentication, and only uses the SSPI plugin if the GSSAPI library is not available.

Important: This option is only available in Windows.
