This section shows how to set up ODBC connectivity and configure DSNs on macOS.
Minimum macOS Version
The CData ODBC Driver for Spark SQL driver requires macOS Sierra (10.12) or above.
Licensing the Driver
In a terminal, run the following commands to license the driver. To activate a trial, omit the <key> input.
cd "/Applications/CData ODBC Driver for Spark SQL/bin"
sudo ./install-license.sh <key>
You'll be prompted for a name and password. These refer to your name and your machine's password.
Connecting to Spark SQL
Specify the following to establish a connection with Spark SQL:
- Server: The host name or IP address of the server hosting SparkSQL.
- Port: The port for the connection to the SparkSQL instance.
- TransportMode: The transport mode to use to communicate with the SparkSQL server. Accepted entries are BINARY and HTTP. BINARY is selected by default.
Securing Spark SQL Connections
To enable TLS/SSL in the driver, set UseSSL to True.
Authenticating to Spark SQL
The service may be authenticated to using the PLAIN, LDAP, NOSASL, KERBEROS auth schemes.
PLAIN
To authenticate with PLAIN, set the following connection properties:
- AuthScheme: PLAIN.
- User: The user to login as.
- Password: The password of the user.
LDAP

For details on how to authenticate with Kerberos, see Using Kerberos.
Uninstalling the Driver
The easiest way to uninstall the driver is to open a terminal and run the included uninstall.sh script, located in the installation directory. For example:
cd "/Applications/CData ODBC Driver for Spark SQL" sudo ./uninstall.sh
Note: The script needs to be run from the installation directory.
