Default Value

Remarks

The HTTP authentication scheme to use (for storage service providers that support multiple).

For storage service providers that support more than one HTTP authentication scheme, this property specifies which should be used. This property is only relevant for the following storage service providers:

• spHadoopDFS (10)

(For all other storage service providers, the class determines the correct authentication scheme automatically).

Usage

Possible values for this property are:

camNone (0) (default)	No authentication is performed.
camSimple (1)	Hadoop pseudo/simple authentication is performed.
camBasic (2)	Basic authentication is performed.
camNTLM (3)	NTLM authentication is performed.
camNegotiate (4)	Negotiate authentication is performed.
camOAuth (5)	OAuth authentication is performed.

When set to camSimple (1), the value of the account_user property is automatically sent in every request using the user.name query parameter. (Note: This authentication scheme is only valid for the spHadoopDFS (10) storage service provider.)

When set to camBasic (2), camNTLM (3), or camNegotiate (4), the values held by the account_user and account_password properties will be used to perform Basic, NTLM, or Negotiate authentication.

When set to camOAuth (5), the value of the authorization property is automatically sent in every request using the Authorization HTTP header.
