Using User Name

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

This authentication mechanism is available only for Hive Server 2 on non-HDInsight distributions. Most default configurations of Hive Server 2 require User Name authentication. When you use User Name authentication, SSL is not supported and SASL is the only Thrift transport protocol available.

To configure User Name authentication:

Set the AuthMech connection attribute to 2.
Set the UID attribute to an appropriate user name for accessing the Hive server.
