Thanks for the reply! I am now trying to create a jaas.conf in my HBase client, but I'm not sure which module to use, because the examples i found are usually for Kerberos and we don't have that set up. On server side login is validated against LDAP, so basically I just want to pass username + password to the server and have it telling me wether I am granted access or not. I found this example: http://wso2.com/library/tutorials/2014/05/enabling-sasl-authentication-between-wso2-message-broker-and-zookeeper-cluster/ which is close to what I need in my opinion, but I have to declare users and passwords on the server configuration, which is wrong I think, beacuse I want LDAP to do the validation. Here are the modules provided by Java, can I use one of those? https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/jre/api/security/jaas/spec/com/sun/security/auth/module/package-summary.html
