In my company the Windows Servers aren’t part of the same domain as the Hadoop 
Servers so we’ve been using Apache Knox to enable username/password auth to an 
Kerberos enabled Hive instance. This has been tested with the Hortonworks HDP 
2.6.5 distribution of Hive and Tableau.

Thanks

Hello, chaps.

I have a silly question regarding using Tableau Server with Hive/ODBC:

As far as I know, the Hive ODBC (Simba) drivers provide no way to use a keytab 
to automatically kinit before attempting an HS2 connection. What is the 
recommended way for a user running Tableau Server to automatically refresh a 
report running on HS2? (I mean, short of running kinit off the keytab first, or 
running kinit in a cronjob.)

How does the user ensure that a valid Kerberos ticket is presented on the 
refresh?
