Configuring OIDC Authentication on a Non-Windows Machine

You can configure the connector to use the OpenID Connect (OIDC) protocol to authenticate the connection. You can set the connection properties in a connection string or in a DSN (in the odbc.ini file). Settings in the connection string take precedence over settings in the DSN.

To configure OIDC authentication on a non-Windows machine:

1. Set the AuthenticationType property to OIDC Authentication.

2. Set the UID property to an appropriate user name for accessing the data store.

3. Configure the SSL settings as described in Configuring SSL Verification on a Non-Windows Machine.
4. When you test the connection or when you connect to your Starburst Enterprise server, a browser opens to the redirect URI. Type your credentials and click OK.

The connector retrieves an access token, and you can connect to your Starburst Enterprise server. If the access token expires or become invalid, it will be automatically renewed.
