Mohit Sabharwal commented on HIVE-8916:
---------------------------------------
We could add documentation to [Configuration Properties --
hive.server2.authentication.ldap.Domain |
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Configuration+Properties#ConfigurationProperties-hive.server2.authentication.ldap.Domain]
In case of LDAP authentication, {{hive.server2.authentication.ldap.Domain}}, if
configured, is appended to the LDAP username passed in the client connection.
This is because LDAP providers like Active Directory expect a fully qualified
username that includes the domain.
Starting 0.15.0 (HIVE-8916), if the username passed in the client connection
already includes the domain, any value configured in
{{hive.server2.authentication.ldap.Domain}} is not appended to the username.

> If LDAP is configured with multiple domains for authentication, users can be
> in different domains.
> Currently, LdapAuthenticationProviderImpl blindly appends the domain
> configured "hive.server2.authentication.ldap.Domain" to the username, which
> limits user to that domain. However, under multi-domain authentication, the
> username may already include the domain (ex: u...@domain.foo.com). We should
> not append a domain if one is already present.
> Also, if username already includes the domain, rest of Hive and authorization
> providers still expects the "short name" ("user" and not
> "u...@domain.foo.com") for looking up privilege rules, etc. As such, any
> domain info in the username should be stripped off.
