Some ODBC applications display a logon dialog box when you are connecting to a data source. In these cases, the data source name has already been specified.

Note: A user name and password are not required to connect to Impala.

In this dialog box, provide the following information:

  1. In the Host field, type either the name or the IP address of the server to which you want to connect.
  2. In the Port Number field, type the port number that your Impala server is listening on. Check with your Impala administrator for the correct number.

  5. If required, type your password In the Password field.
  6. Click OK to log on to the Impala server you specified and to update the values in the Registry.
