Mikhail Antonov commented on HIVE-4707: --------------------------------------- There's email thread regarding LDAP auth for openldap.. http://osdir.com/ml/general/2013-08/msg42378.html Essentially, if baseDN isn't set, then the bind string is formed as follows: // setup the security principal String bindDN; if (baseDN != null) { bindDN = "uid=" + user + "," + baseDN; } else { bindDN = user; } There should be some configuration, allowing people to customize this bind string, for example use cn= instead of uid=. Can provide a patch if wanted.. > Support configurable domain name for HiveServer2 LDAP authentication using > Active Directory > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-4707 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4707 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: HiveServer2 > Affects Versions: 0.11.0 > Reporter: Prasad Mujumdar > Assignee: Prasad Mujumdar > Fix For: 0.12.0 > > Attachments: HIVE-4707-1.patch > > > LDAP providers like Active Directory use a fully qualified user name in > user@domain format. For HiveServer2 LDAP auth can be used with active > directory by passing the userid in that format. This causes hive > authentication module to retrun the username in that mangled format. This > prohibits LDAP users to be impersonated over secure hadoop or reported > correctly in audit etc. > HiveServer2 should support a configurable LDAP domain that is appended to the > user name. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
