Connect to Apache Impala through Kerberos from Azure Data Factory (ADF)

As per the Azure documentation, only anonymous, SASLUsername, and UsernameAndPassword are supported by the Impala connector of Azure Data Factory (ADF).

We need to connect from ADF to our Cloudera Impala server through Kerberos.

The ADF ODBC Connector seems to support Kerberos but I haven't found a Microsoft ODBC driver for Impala. Can ADF work with Impala through Kerberos using a third-party e.g. native Apache Impala driver or using a proxy configuration? Or is there a recommended approach?

Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi SH,

    Thank you for posting query in Microsoft Q&A Platform.

    yes, you are right, Impala connector supports only Anonymous, SASLUsername, and UsernameAndPassword authentication types.

    and

    ODBC connector support Basic and Anonymous authentication types only. Click here to know more.

    For some reasons, if we don't want to use above authentication types, then we should consider making REST API call using REST connector.

    Please let me know how it goes. Thank you,
