Using SAML 2.0

This authentication mechanism enables you to authenticate via Single Sign-On using SAML 2.0 against supported servers.

Important:

In order to use SAML 2.0 for authentication, the ThriftTransport attribute must be set to 2 and the SSL attribute must be set to 1.

To configure SAML 2.0 authentication:

  1. Set the AuthMech connection attribute to 12.
  2. Set the ThriftTransport attribute to 2.
  3. Set the HttpPath attribute to the partial URL corresponding to the Hive server.
  4. Set the SSL attribute to 1.
  5. Optionally, set the SSOIgnoreDriverNoPrompt attribute to true. When the application is making a SQLDriverConnect call with a SQL_DRIVER_NOPROMPT flag, this property displays the web browser used to complete the browser based authentication flow.
  6. Optionally, set the TSaslTransportBufSize attribute to the number of bytes to reserve in memory for buffering unencrypted data from the network.

    7. Note:

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