Welcome to our guide on establishing seamless connectivity between Alteryx and Oracle Big Data Service Hive within a Kerberized cluster. If you’ve ever wanted to enhance your data processing and analysis capabilities while ensuring a robust security environment, this blog is for you.
Why security matters
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Big Data Service empowers cloud-based management of Hadoop and Spark clusters, enabling robust data processing. While its default authentication methods suit many scenarios, organizations with heightened security needs might require more. Here, Kerberos authentication comes into play. This a widely embraced mechanism secures distributed computing systems.
Kerberos provides a secure way to authenticate users and services, allowing them to communicate over networks while helping ensure their identities. By issuing cryptographic keys, Kerberos verifies authenticity and authorizes access, forming a strong security layer.
Our step-by-step guide covers the following areas:
-
Kerberizing the Oracle Big Data Service cluster: We guide you through the process of enhancing security by implementing Kerberos authentication in your Oracle Big Data Service cluster.
-
Connecting Alteryx to Oracle Big Data Service Hive: We detailthe process of setting up a connection between Alteryx and a Kerberized Oracle Big Data Service Hive using the Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) driver.
