Hi, I followed the instructions in the link below to configure hivesever2 using PAM without success: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Setting+Up+HiveServer2 (1) download the JPAM native library
(2) unzip and copy libjpam.so and JPam-1.1.jar to a directory (/usr/lib/pam) on the system. (3) add the following entries in /etc/profile.d/custom.sh: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib/pam export HADOOP_OPTS=-Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/pam export HADOOP_CLIENT_OPTS=-Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/pam and add the hive-site property: hive.aux.jars.path=/usr/lib/pam/JPam-1.1.jar using Ambari Without step (3), hive-server2 will fail with ClassNotFoundException/UnsatisfiedLinkedError. (4) set the following configurations in hive-site.xml: hive.server2.authentication: PAM.hive.server2.authentication.pam.services: sshd. (5) restart hive services via Ambari (6) create an unix user fay with password 1qaz!QAZ My hive test case failed with the authentication error: Exception in thread "main" java.sql.SQLException: Could not open client transport with JDBC Uri: jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000/default;user=fay;password=1qaz!QAZ: Peer indicated failure: Error validating the login at org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveConnection.openTransport(HiveConnection.java:217) at org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveConnection.<init>(HiveConnection.java:165) at org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveDriver.connect(HiveDriver.java:105) at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:571) at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:215) at test.TestHive3.main(TestHive3.java:55) Caused by: org.apache.thrift.transport.TTransportException: Peer indicated failure: Error validating the login at org.apache.thrift.transport.TSaslTransport.receiveSaslMessage(TSaslTransport.java:190) at org.apache.thrift.transport.TSaslTransport.open(TSaslTransport.java:288) at org.apache.thrift.transport.TSaslClientTransport.open(TSaslClientTransport.java:37) at org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveConnection.openTransport(HiveConnection.java:192) Any help is highly appreciated!
