• Default Value: member

• Extended In:  Hive 2.1.1 with HIVE-14513

This property is used in LDAP search queries when finding LDAP group names that a particular user belongs to. The value of the LDAP attribute, indicated by this property, should be a full DN for the user or the short username or userid. For example: A , a group entry for say "fooGroup" containing "member : uid=fooUser,ou=Users,dc=domain,dc=com" will help determine that  "fooUser" belongs to LDAP group "fooGroup".

See Group Membership for a detailed example.

This property can also be used to find the users if a custom-configured LDAP query returns a group instead of a user (as of Hive 2.1.1). For details, see Support for Groups in Custom LDAP Query.
