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..

> 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.
