Using Single Sign-On

Single Sign-On (SSO) is a process that allows network users to access all authorized network resources without having to log in to each resource separately. For example, implementing SSO for users within an organization allows each user to authenticate to Hive without providing a separate set of Hive credentials.

You specify the properties in the connection URL. For more information about the syntax of the connection URL, see Building the Connection URL.

Important:

SSL is required for this authentication method. For more information, see Configuring SSL.

To configure Single Sign-On authentication:

  1. Set the AuthMech property to 12.
  2. Set the TransportMode property to http.
  3. Optionally, set the SSOWebServerTimeout property to the number of seconds that the connector waits before timing out while waiting for a browser response.

For example:

jdbc:hive2://node1.example.com:10001;AuthMech=12;
SSL=1;TransportMode=http;httpPath=cliservice;SSOWebServerTimeout=60;
