Password Authenticator¶
Presto supports authentication with a username and password via a custom password authenticator that validates the credentials and creates a principal.
Implementation¶
PasswordAuthenticatorFactory
is responsible for creating a
PasswordAuthenticator
instance. It also defines the name of this
authenticator which is used by the administrator in a Presto configuration.
PasswordAuthenticator
contains a single method, createAuthenticatedPrincipal()
,
that validates the credential and returns a Principal
, which is then
authorized by the System Access Control.
The implementation of PasswordAuthenticatorFactory
must be wrapped
as a plugin and installed on the Presto cluster.
Configuration¶
After a plugin that implements PasswordAuthenticatorFactory
has been
installed on the coordinator, it is configured using an
etc/password-authenticator.properties
file. All of the
properties other than access-control.name
are specific to the
PasswordAuthenticatorFactory
implementation.
The password-authenticator.name
property is used by Presto to find a
registered PasswordAuthenticatorFactory
based on the name returned by
PasswordAuthenticatorFactory.getName()
. The remaining properties are
passed as a map to PasswordAuthenticatorFactory.create()
.
Example configuration file:
password-authenticator.name=custom-access-control
custom-property1=custom-value1
custom-property2=custom-value2
Additionally, the coordinator must be configured to use password authentication and have HTTPS enabled.
