MapR-SASL is available starting with the 1504 release of Hive 0.13 and Hive 1.0.
However, the configuration requirements for MapR-SASL differ based on the version of
Hive that you have installed:
- As of Hive 0.13-1501, Hive 1.0-1510, and Hive 1.2-1510, MapR-SASL and PAM
are enabled by default on a secure cluster; no configuration is required.
Complete the steps below if you want HiveServer2 to only accept MapR-SASL
authentication.
- In Hive 0.13-1508 and Hive 1.0-1508, MapR-SASL is not the default and must
be configured.
- In Hive 0.13-1504 and Hive 1.0-1504, MapR-SASL is the default authentication
method when the cluster is secure. No configuration is required.
