SSL integration with Hadoop and SAS

[Riana]

Hi,

We are going to use SSL integration for Hadoop and I was wondering if it is going to have any impact the way we are connecting to it in SAS(libname)? 

Or if we should change any thing in Hadoop connection in ODBC file on server for SSL?

Or if we should change/add anything in both libname and odbc connection?

The Hadoop client software is loaded up and executed on the SAS server inside a JVM. For the SAS\ACCESS Interface to Hadoop software the SAS Private Java Runtime Environment deployed on the system is the JVM that used.

For this to work TLS/SSL connections will need to be established from the SAS server to the client. You'll need to ensure the signing authority cert is inside the trust store of the SAS Private JRE.

See this documentation for details on this process.

If your connectivity is done with ODBC you'll need to consult the vendor documentation of the vendor of the driver for how to configure the trust with their driver.
