Configuring Authentication

Some HBase servers are configured to require authentication for access. To connect to an HBase server, you must configure the Simba HBase ODBC Driver to provide the necessary credentials.

If your HBase deployment supports HTTPS, then the Simba HBase ODBC Driver can authenticate the connection through HTTPS using a user name and a password.

To configure 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. In the Simba HBase ODBC Driver DSN Setup dialog box, in the Authentication Type drop-down list, select Basic Authentication.
  3. In the User field, type an appropriate user name for accessing the HBase server.
  4. In the Password field, type the password corresponding to the user name you typed above.
  5. To save your settings and close the dialog box, click OK.
