Naveen Gangam commented on HIVE-13035:
--------------------------------------

This would require us to use a separate bind DN than the user being 
authenticated. So the LDAP bind occurs with a a specific user everytime and the 
authenticating users will be found using a ldap search based on configurable 
keys.
This is probably a better approach the Atn provider is a service with the same 
lifecycle as the hive server2. However, this requires additional configuration 
that includes adding a password value(password for the bind user) to an 
external system like LDAP in the hive-site.xml. This concerns me.

> Enable Hive Server 2 to use a LDAP user and group search filters (RFC 2254).

> In some AD configurations, user's may wish to authenticate with a attribute 
> other than sAMAccountName such as uid=, which may not match and cause 
> confusion.   If LDAP user and group search filters existed, (e.g. (uid={0})) 
> this would allow for such configurations.
