Configure Access by Using Token-Based Authentication

To use token-based authentication:

  1. Obtain a valid OAuth2 bearer token from the Azure Active Directory service for those valid users who have access to Azure Data Lake Storage account. The token must be obtained for a specific client ID in the application code. For more information, refer to Active Directory Library For Java.

  2. Add the following properties to your core-site.xml:

    <property>
      <name>fs.adl.oauth2.access.token.provider.type</name>
      <value>RefreshToken</value>
    </property>
    
    <property>
      <name>fs.adl.oauth2.client.id</name>
      <value>CLIENT-ID</value>
    </property>
    
    <property>
      <name>fs.adl.oauth2.refresh.token</name>
      <value>REFRESH-TOKEN</value>
    </property>

    Se the value of fs.adl.oauth2.access.token.provider.type to "RefreshToken" and set the other two parameters.

[Note]Note

Do not share the client ID or the refresh token. They must be kept secret.
