Reply To: hiveserver2 Active Directory authentication

There is actually an even better fix for this. THere is a property named hive.server2.authentication.ldap.Domain that you can add to the hive-site.xml. Set its value equal to whatever domain you have, i.e., the one used to prefix the username in the earlier part of this thread. After doing that, you can successfully authenticate when a correct password is provided with simply the domain username.
