I know that in Vertica 9.1 we have the new feature “BYODT - Bring Your Own Delegation Token”. This great for accessing Hadoop from Vertica.
However, I have a client that is having an issue with Kerberos Delegation from Tableau Server.
Basically, Tableau told our client that Vertica is not one of the supported databases for Kerberos delegation.
See:
https://onlinehelp.tableau.com/current/server/en-us/kerberos_delegation.htm
They are able to log into a Kerberized Vertica DB from a Tableau Server, but only using the service account that is logged into Windows. They want to pass real user names to the DB.
Curious if know of anyone knows of a work around for Vertica?
Thanks!
