hive.server2.thrift.sasl.qop in hive-site.xml has to be set to one of the valid QOP values ('auth', 'auth-int' or 'auth-conf').

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Setting+Up+HiveServer2#SettingUpHiveServer2-Integri...

Then use as for example:

jdbc:hive://hostname/dbname;sasl.qop=auth-int|auth|auth-conf

jdbc:hive2://sandbox.hortonworks.com:10001/default;principal=hive/[email protected]?transportMode=http;httpPath=cliservice;auth=kerberos;sasl.qop=auth-int

See

@Ancil McBarnett Awesome feedback! I have follow up (maybe I will ask another HCC question). Can client connect using a lower standard like auth-int or auth if hive.server2.thrift.sasl.qop is set to auth-conf on hiveserver2?

Hi @Sunile Manjee please ask the follow on as a separate question.
