        Hive Security Configuration Options
        This section describes changes made in Hive default configuration. It shows how to configure Hive after manual installation.
        Hive Authentication
        The authentication method that you configure for the Hive Metastore, HiveServer2, and WebHcat determines how these Hive components access and connect to each other.
        Hive Encryption
        When you configure encryption, the thrift messages sent between the Hive Metastore, HiveServer 2, and HiveServer2 clients are encrypted.
        Configure Encryption with MapR-SASL or Kerberos Authentication
        Configure Encryption without Authentication
        Configure HiveServer2 Clients to use Encryption
        Configure the TLS (SSL) Protocol Version in Hive
        Beginning with EEPs 6.3.1 and 7.0.0, the default protocol version for TLS (SSL) is TLSv1.2, but you can use the hive.ssl.protocol.version property to set a custom value for TLS (SSL).
        Hive Password Encryption
        EEP 4.0 introduces default configuration for Hive Metastore password encryption using the data-fabric Installer. The password is stored in the hive-site.xml file.
        Hive Authorization
        MapR Data Platform has built-in platform authorization that protects all data regardless of the execution engine. This topic describes alternative authorization modes you can choose to implement.
        Fallback Hive Authorizer
        Fallback Hive Authorizer is used by Hive DDL (Data Definition Language) tasks for access control and for checking authorization from Driver.doAuthorization().

Configure HiveServer2 Clients to use Encryption

Based on the encryption method, the requirements for clients to connect to HiveServer2 differ.

When HiveServer2 uses encryption with MapR-SASL or Kerberos authentication, the client must specify the same sasl qop value that is set for HiveServer2 (auth-conf is the default, recommended option).
When HiveServer2 uses SSL encryption without authentication, the client must specify a truststore. The ssl_truststore file must be copied from the cluster to the client. Specifying a truststore password is optional.
