Using SASL User Name

This authentication mechanism requires a user name but not a password. The user name labels the session, facilitating database tracking.

To configure SASL User Name authentication:

1. To access authentication options, open the ODBC Data Source Administrator where you created the DSN, then select the DSN, and then click Configure.
2. From the Mechanism drop-down list, select SASL User Name.
3. In the User Name field, type an appropriate user name for accessing the Impala server.
4. Optionally, in the Transport Buffer Size field, type the number of bytes to reserve in memory for buffering unencrypted data from the network.

Note:

In most circumstances, the default value of 1000 bytes is optimal.

5. To save your settings and close the dialog box, click OK.
