(GLUE-1812) Security

Oozie Web Services have built-in security supporting different authentication mechanisms. The current version of the Datavard Oozie Connector supports the following authentication methods:

  • NO_AUTHENTICATION: No Hadoop-specific authentication is applied
  • PSEUDO_AUTHENTICATION: The user accessing Oozie is identified only by the username
  • KERBEROS: Kerberos authentication (for Kerberos setup, refer to chapter Kerberos)

The Datavard Oozie Connector supports also standard HTTP Basic authentication. In this case, user credentials are maintained within the corresponding RFC Destination.

It is recommended to set up the connection using the secured HTTP (HTTPS) protocol. For information on how to set up HTTPS on Hadoop, follow instructions provided by your Hadoop provider or distribution.

To set up HTTPS in your SAP system use instructions in this Configuring the AS ABAP for Supporting SSL.
