So, I have a Hive server (Cloudera, Thrift via HTTP) set up and working, and can connect to it from Tableau using the ODBC driver for Cloudera Hive - all good, from the servers in the AWS farm.
However, no luck from the client site/their end-user PCs.
The reason for this is that they require all outbound traffic to the internet (here, my AWS instance) to go through proxies using NTLM, and I can't get the Cloudera ODBC driver to talk via the NTLM proxy. It appears to ignore the Windows proxy settings entirely, in fact.
I'm aware of two (obvious) solutions - use Fiddler/cntlm locally on the box as a reverse proxy / set up a reverse-proxy in the customer's net and point ODBC at that - both of these are somewhat unpalatable to the users.
So: Is there a way to get Cloudera's ODBC driver (or Windows itself) to forcibly go via an NTLM proxy without requiring additional software/servers? Or is there a Cloudera-Hive-compatible Tableau connector that works well with proxies in the middle?
TL;DR: Need to get from Tableau client on Windows to Cloudera Hive in AWS across an NTLM proxy. Thoughts?
