Using JSON Web Token (JWT)

This authentication mechanism enables you to authenticate via JSON Web Token against supported servers.

Important:

In order to use JWT for authentication, TransportMode must be set to HTTP and JWTString must be specified in the connection string.

To configure JWT authentication:

  1. Set the AuthMech connection attribute to JWT or 8.
  2. Set the TransportMode attribute to HTTP.
  3. Set the JWTString attribute in the connection string.

You can now use the connector to authenticate through JWT and connect to your Impala server.
