Hello,

I'd like to connect to an external (Teradata) database with zeppelin, using 
%jdbc interpretor.

Here is my context:
- The user is logged in to zeppelin using a LDAP account known in the Hadoop 
context, not the database
- The user is impersonified for spark operation using "sudo" commands from the 
zeppelin account to the user
- The user has its own user/password (separate from the Hadoop LDAP one) to 
connect to teradata

If I put an hard-coded "user/password" in the %jdbc interpreter configuration, 
it works, but I can't do it for security reasons:
- no user impersonate= system account usage = no linkage, no permission check 
(choice between full access to everyone to anything or minimal access to 
everyone...)
- unencrypted  critical system password storage

A solution that I can imagine  would be for instance:
- to support something like ${ZEPPELIN_IMPERSONATE_USER} for default.user value
- to be prompted for the password when the per-user interpreter starts, and 
keep the password in memory only

Do you have a solution that could work with v0.7.3 ?

Best regards,
Arnaud
