Create your user credentials in the LDAP server.

To configure the driver to use user ID/password authentication via LDAP:

  • Specify values for minimum required properties for establishing a connection:
    • Set the ServerName property to specify either the IP address in IPv4 or IPv6 format, or the server name for your server.
    • Set the PortNumber property to specify the TCP port of the primary database server that is listening for connections to the database.
    • Set the DatabaseName property to specify the database name.
  • Set the User property to specify the user ID of the LDAP server.
  • Set the Password property to specify the password of the LDAP server.
For example, the following is a connection string with only the required properties for making a connection using user ID/password authentication via LDAP.

Connection URL: 

Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection 
("jdbc:datadirect:impala://myserver:21050;
  DatabaseName=dbname;User=Jsmith@example.com;Password=secret);
Note: The User ID and Password properties are not required to be stored in the connection string. They can also be passed separately by the application.

Data Source:

ImpalaDataSource mds = new ImpalaDataSource();
mds.setDescription("My Impala Data Source");
mds.setServerName("server_name");
mds.setPort("port");
mds.setDatabaseName("ImpalaDB");
mds.setUser("jsmith@example.com");
mds.setPassword("secret");
