AuthMechanism Parameter (Connect-CloudStorage Cmdlet)

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

Syntax

Connect-CloudStorage -AuthMechanism string

Remarks

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:

• HadoopDFS

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

Usage

Possible values for this property are:

None (default)	No authentication is performed.
Simple	Hadoop pseudo/simple authentication is performed.
Basic	Basic authentication is performed.
NTLM	NTLM authentication is performed.
Negotiate	Negotiate authentication is performed.

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

When set to Basic, NTLM, or Negotiate, the values held by the User and Password properties will be used to perform Basic, NTLM, or Negotiate authentication.

Default Value

0
