impala-shell login password

[#1]

Hi all,

I haven't found the option to enter login password, the documentation says will prompt for password when use the -u option.

"Supplies the username, when LDAP authentication is enabled by the -loption. (Specify the short username, not the full LDAP distinguished name.) The shell then prompts interactively for the password."

Is there any way to provide the password, like in beeline the -p options.

Regards,

Thanks!

We added support for --ldap_password_cmd in Impala 2.5, which I think addresses this problem. See https://issues.cloudera.org/browse/IMPALA-1934
