No password in HDFSconnection

[Anonymous]

Hi all,
I successfully connected a tHDFSconnection component to upload files into my HDFS (a HDP cluster). But I'm very surprised that the component is asking for a user name but not for password. More than that, without specifying any password, I can use any user name (even hdfs the super user).
How do you explain this ? Should I active some security configuration in HDFS ? In this case, how am I suppose to send the password from talend ?
Do you have any documentation on that?
I'm not sure if I should post this question here, but since I have this concern using Talend Big Data, maybe one of you guys could eventually help me
Thank you in advance anyway.
Regards,
Orlando

Hi Orlando,
Have you checked the "Authentication" with using kerberos authentication and a keytab to authentication?
Please have a look at component reference:TalendHelpCenter:tHDFSConnection

Thank you for you help.
I thought that a login AND password was required even with a basic authentication, without using Kerberos.
I'll enable Kerberos in this case.
Thanks again for you reactivity.

Hi again,
to address my basic security needs, I was planing to go through a gateway with Apache Knox and rely on the network firewalls.
But I am still wondering how I would pass my password from talend ? Will I need to write user assword in the user field of the tHDFSconnection ?
Do you have any documentation on using knox together with talend ?
Thanks.
Bests,
Orlando

We are getting the below error for tHDFSConnection, need to know where we need to pass the password for establishing connection.

Hi All
Do you have a solution connecting Talend to Hadoop where Hadoop is secured with Knox only (no Kerberos) for HDFS, HIVE, OOZIE, HBASE
