        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.

Configure Encryption with MapR-SASL or Kerberos Authentication

About this task

Complete the following steps on each node where HiveServer2 is installed:

Procedure

In hive-site.xml file, set the following property:

Property	Value
`hive.server2.thrift.sasl.qop`	`auth-conf`

NOTE

As of Hive 0.13-1504 and Hive 1.0-1504, hive.server2.thrift.sasl.qop is set to auth-conf by default on secure clusters.

<property>
  <name>hive.server2.thrift.sasl.qop</name>
  <value>auth-conf</value>
  <description>Sasl QOP value; one of 'auth', 'auth-int' and 'auth-conf'</description>
</property>

Restart HiveServer2 to apply these changes.
