You can create CustomAuthenticator implements PasswordAuthenticationProvider.
However, there is a bug to use CustomAuthenticator, you should apply patch from https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4778 And then register on hive-site.xml: -------------------------------- <property> <name>hive.server2.authentication</name> <value>CUSTOM</value> </property> <property> <name>hive.server2.custom.authentication.class</name> <value>org.apache.hive.service.auth.NexrAuthenticationProviderImpl</value> </property> ------------------------------ Here is very simple implements: ----------------------------------------------- public class NexrAuthenticationProviderImpl implements PasswdAuthenticationProvider { private static final Log LOG = LogFactory.getLog(NexrAuthenticationProviderImpl.class); //user, password private Map<String, String> userMap = new HashMap<String, String>(); public NexrAuthenticationProviderImpl() { init(); } private void init(){ userMap.put("azrael","azrael"); userMap.put("seoeun","seoeun"); } @Override public void Authenticate(String user, String password) throws AuthenticationException { if(!userMap.containsKey(user)){ throw new AuthenticationException("Invalid user : "+user); } if(!userMap.get(user).toString().equals(password)){ throw new AuthenticationException("Invalid passwd : "+password); } return; } } -------------------------------------------------------- On Mon, Aug 12, 2013 at 9:55 PM, Christian Schneider < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > how to provide a simple propertyfile or database user/password > authentication for HiveServer2? > > Since it is a small research project, we don't have Kerberos or LDAP. > I already found this [0] presentation about it, but it's not in English :(. > > On the Cloudera reference manual [1] I found smth. about the > hive.server2.authentication property.
