Enabling Knox authentication

You can use Knox authentication for SQL Stream Builder (SSB) to provide integration with customer Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions. Knox uses Kerberos (SPNEGO) to strongly authenticate itself towards the services. When enabling Knox for SSB, you need to follow the configuration process based on the CDP Private Cloud Base version you use.

Apache Knox Gateway is used to help ensure perimeter security for SSB. With Knox, enterprises can confidently extend the SSB UI and API endpoints to new users without Kerberos complexities. Knox provides a central gateway and has varying degrees of authorization, authentication, SSL, and SSO capabilities to enable a single access point for SSB.
