title: How to configure LDAP on Spark-Thrift server on AWS EMR?
body: <p>Note that we are not talking about hiveserver2, or hive-thrift server here.
  If anyone has experience with this, I want to configure LDAP auth on spark-thrift server. I am using AWS EMR as my cluster.
  I am able to start the server and query using it, but without any username or password. Not even sure where to specify authentication related properties. There's just very little documentation on this stuff.</p>
  
  <p>Looking forward to hear from anyone who has experience doing this.</p>
