Enable SSL for Impala

IMPORTANT This component is deprecated. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends using an alternate product. For more information, see Discontinued Ecosystem Components.

Impala 2.5.0 supports SSL encryption for internal Impala connections.

Complete the following steps to configure SSL for Impala:

Configure encryption in Hive. See Hive Encryption.
Configure client-server encryption only or configure client-server and Impala internal encryption.
- To configure client-server encryption only, add the following start-up options for the Impala Server to /opt/mapr/impala/impala-<version>/conf/env.sh:
  
  -ssl_server_certificate
  
  Full path to the server certificate on the local filesystem.
  
  -ssl_private_key
  
  Full path to the server private key on the local filesystem.
- To configure client-server and Impala internal encryption, add the following start-up options for the Impala server, catalog, and statestore to /opt/mapr/impala/impala-<version>/conf/env.sh:
  
  -ssl_server_certificate
  
  Full path to the server certificate on the local filesystem.
  
  -ssl_private_key
  
  Full path to the server private key on the local filesystem.
  
  -ssl_client_ca_certificate
  
  Full path to the certificate on the local filesystem required for client/server encryption.

NOTE When you add the SSL flags to Impala start-up options, Impala listens for HiveServer2 on the SSL-secured ports. A client program usually has equivalent options to verify a connection to the correct server.

After you enable SSL, you can issue the following options when you start the impala-shell:

Option	Description
`--ssl`	Enables SSL for the impala-shell.
`--ca_cert`	Local path name that points to the third-party CA certificate, or to a copy of the server certificate for self-signed server certificates. If --ca_cert is not set, impala-shell enables SSL, but does not validate the server certificate. This is useful for connecting to an Impala node that you know is only running over SSL when a copy of the certificate is not available.

For more information about the impala-shell, refer to Impala-Shell Commands.

For more information about configuring Impala start-up options, see Additional Impala Configuration Options.
