Add security to cluster connections

If you have a secure Hadoop cluster, the security options depend on the driver. All drivers have the Kerberos option. If you are using a Hortonworks driver, you can also select Knox as the security type. If you are connected to a Pentaho Repository, you can specify additional Kerberos options for secure impersonation. See the Administer Pentaho Data Integration and Analytics document for further information on secure impersonation.

If you are not sure what security type is set up for the Hadoop cluster, contact the cluster administrator.

Note: For Kerberos, you need the authentication user name and either a password or a keytab file. For Knox, you need the Gateway URL, user name, and password.
