Using No Authentication

When connecting to a Spark server of type Shark Server, you must use No Authentication. When you use No Authentication, Binary is the only Thrift transport protocol that is supported.

To configure a connection without authentication:

  1. Choose one:
    • To access authentication options for a DSN, open the ODBC Data Source Administrator where you created the DSN, then select the DSN, and then click Configure.
    • Or, to access authentication options for a DSN-less connection, open the Simba Spark ODBC Driver Configuration tool.
  2. From the Mechanism drop-down list, select No Authentication.
  3. If the Spark server is configured to use SSL, then click SSL Options to configure SSL for the connection. For more information, see Configuring SSL Verification.
  4. To save your settings and close the dialog box, click OK.
