Amazon Athena - CData Cloud

Overview

CData Cloud offers access to Amazon Athena across several standard services and protocols, in a cloud-hosted solution. Any application that can connect to a SQL Server database can connect to Amazon Athena through CData Cloud.

CData Cloud allows you to standardize and configure connections to Amazon Athena as though it were any other OData endpoint or standard SQL Server.

Key Features

  • Full SQL Support: Amazon Athena appears as standard relational databases, allowing you to perform operations - Filter, Group, Join, etc. - using standard SQL, regardless of whether these operations are supported by the underlying API.
  • CRUD Support: Both read and write operations are supported, restricted only by security settings that you can configure in Cloud or downstream in the source itself.
  • Secure Access: The administrator can create users and define their access to specific databases and read-only operations or grant full read & write privileges.
  • Comprehensive Data Model & Dynamic Discovery: CData Cloud provides comprehensive access to all of the data exposed in the underlying data source, including full access to dynamic data and easily searchable metadata.

CData Cloud

Getting Started

This page provides a guide to Establishing a Connection to Amazon Athena in CData Cloud, as well as information on the available resources, and a reference to the available connection properties.

Connecting to Amazon Athena

Establishing a Connection shows how to authenticate to Amazon Athena and configure any necessary connection properties to create a database in CData Cloud

Accessing Data from CData Cloud Services

Accessing data from Amazon Athena through the available standard services and CData Cloud administration is documented in further details in the CData Cloud Documentation.

CData Cloud

Establishing a Connection

Connect to Amazon Athena by selecting the corresponding icon in the Database tab. Required properties are listed under Settings. The Advanced tab lists connection properties that are not typically required.

Connecting to Amazon Athena

To connect to data, specify these basic connection parameters:
  • DataSource: The Amazon Athena data source to connect to.
  • Database: The Amazon Athena database to connect to.
  • AWSRegion: The region where your Amazon Athena data is hosted.
  • S3StagingDirectory: The S3 folder where you want to store the results of queries.

If Database and DataSource are not specified, the Cloud tries to list all databases from the available data sources in Amazon Athena. Setting both properties improves the performance of the Cloud.

Authenticating to Amazon Athena

CData Cloud supports a wide range of authentication options. The following sections discuss each option.

Obtain AWS Keys

To obtain the credentials for an IAM user:
  1. Sign into the IAM console.
  2. In the navigation pane, select Users.
  3. To create or manage the access keys for a user, select the user and then navigate to the Security Credentials tab.
To obtain the credentials for your AWS root account:
  1. Sign into the AWS Management console with the credentials for your root account.
  2. Select your account name or number.
  3. In the menu that displays, select My Security Credentials.
  4. To manage or create root account access keys, click Continue to Security Credentials and expand the "Access Keys" section.

Root Credentials

To authenticate using account root credentials, set these parameters:

  • AuthScheme: AwsRootKeys.
  • AWSAccessKey: The access key associated with the AWS root account.
  • AWSSecretKey: The secret key associated with the AWS root account.

Note: Amazon discourages the use of this authentication scheme for anything but simple tests. The account root credentials have the full permissions of the user, making this the least secure authentication method.

If multi-factor authentication is required, specify the following:

  • CredentialsLocation: The location of the settings file where MFA credentials are saved. See the Credentials File Location page under Connection String Options for more information.
  • MFASerialNumber: The serial number of the MFA device if one is being used.
  • MFAToken: The temporary token available from your MFA device.
This causes the Cloud to submit the MFA credentials in the request to retrieve temporary authentication credentials.

Note: If you want to control the duration of the temporary credentials, set the TemporaryTokenDuration property (default: 3600 seconds).

Temporary Credentials

To authenticate using temporary credentials, specify the following:

  • AuthScheme: TemporaryCredentials.
  • AWSAccessKey: The access key of the IAM user who will assume the role.
  • AWSSecretKey: The secret key of the IAM user who will assume the role.
  • AWSSessionToken: Your AWS session token, provided with your temporary credentials. For details, see AWS Identity and Access Management User Guide.

The Cloud can now request resources using the same permissions provided by long-term credentials (such as IAM user credentials) for the lifespan of the temporary credentials.

To authenticate using both temporary credentials and an IAM role, set all the parameters described above, and specify these additional parameters:

  • AWSRoleARN: The Role ARN for the role you'd like to authenticate with. This prompts the Cloud to retrieve credentials for the specified role.
  • AWSExternalId (optional): Only required if you are assuming a role in another AWS account.

If multi-factor authentication is required, specify the following:

  • CredentialsLocation: The location of the settings file where MFA credentials are saved. See the Credentials File Location page under Connection String Options for more information.
  • MFASerialNumber: The serial number of the MFA device if one is being used.
  • MFAToken: The temporary token available from your MFA device.
This causes the Cloud to submit the MFA credentials in the request to retrieve temporary authentication credentials.

Note: If you want to control the duration of the temporary credentials, set the TemporaryTokenDuration property (default: 3600 seconds).

Using AWS From an EC2 Instance

Set AuthScheme to AwsEC2Roles.

If you are using the Cloud from an EC2 Instance and have an IAM Role assigned to the instance, you can use the IAM Role to authenticate. Since the Cloud automatically obtains your IAM Role credentials and authenticates with them, it is not necessary to specify AWSAccessKey and AWSSecretKey.

If you are also using an IAM role to authenticate, you must additionally specify the following:

  • AWSRoleARN: Specify the Role ARN for the role you'd like to authenticate with. This will cause the Cloud to attempt to retrieve credentials for the specified role.
  • AWSExternalId (optional): Only required if you are assuming a role in another AWS account.

IMDSv2 Support

The Amazon Athena Cloud now supports IMDSv2. Unlike IMDSv1, the new version requires an authentication token. Endpoints and response are the same in both versions.

In IMDSv2, the Amazon Athena Cloud first attempts to retrieve the IMDSv2 metadata token and then uses it to call AWS metadata endpoints. If it is unable to retrieve the token, the Cloud reverts to IMDSv1.

AWS Web Identity

Set AuthScheme to AwsWebIdentity.

If you are either using Amazon Athena from a container configured to assume role with web identity (such as a Pod in an EKS cluster with an OpenID Provider) OR have authenticated with a web identity provider associated with an IAM role (and have thus obtained an identity token), you can exchange the web identity token and IAM role information for temporary security credentials to authenticate and access AWS services.

If the container has AWS_ROLE_ARN and AWS_WEB_IDENTITY_TOKEN_FILE specified in the environment variables, Amazon Athena automatically obtains the credentials.

You can also authenticate by specifying both AWSRoleARN and AWSWebIdentityToken to execute the AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity API operation.

AWS IAM Roles

To authenticate through AWS, set AuthScheme to AwsIAMRoles.

To authenticate as an AWS role, set these properties:

  • AWSAccessKey: The access key of the IAM user to assume the role for.
  • AWSSecretKey: The secret key of the IAM user to assume the role for.
  • AWSRoleARN: Specify the Role ARN for the role you'd like to authenticate with. This will cause the Cloud to attempt to retrieve credentials for the specified role.
  • AWSExternalId (optional): Only required if you are assuming a role in another AWS account.

If multi-factor authentication is required, specify the following:

  • CredentialsLocation: The location of the settings file where MFA credentials are saved. See the Credentials File Location page under Connection String Options for more information.
  • MFASerialNumber: The serial number of the MFA device if one is being used.
  • MFAToken: The temporary token available from your MFA device.
This causes the Cloud to submit the MFA credentials in the request to retrieve temporary authentication credentials.

Note: If you want to control the duration of the temporary credentials, set the TemporaryTokenDuration property (default: 3600 seconds).

Note: In some circumstances it might be preferable to use an IAM role for authentication, rather than the direct security credentials of an AWS root user. If you are specifying the AWSAccessKey and AWSSecretKey of an AWS root user, you cannot use roles.

ADFS

To connect to ADFS, set these properties:

  • AuthScheme: ADFS.
  • User: The authenticating ADFS user.
  • Password: The password of the authenticating ADFS user.
  • SSOLoginURL: The SSO provider's login URL.

Example connection string:

AuthScheme=ADFS; AWSRegion=Ireland; Database=sampledb; [email protected]; Password=CH8WerW121235647iCa6; SSOLoginURL='https://adfs.domain.com'; AWSRoleArn=arn:aws:iam::1234:role/ADFS_SSO; AWSPrincipalArn=arn:aws:iam::1234:saml-provider/ADFSProvider; S3StagingDirectory=s3://athena/staging;

ADFS Integrated

The ADFS Integrated flow indicates you are connecting with the user credentials of the currently logged in Windows user. To use the ADFS Integrated flow, do not specify the User and Password, but otherwise follow the same steps noted above under ADFS.

Okta

To connect to Okta, set these properties:

  • AuthScheme: Okta.
  • User: The authentiating Okta user.
  • Password: The password of the authenticating Okta user.
  • SSOLoginURL: The SSO provider's login URL.

If you are either using a trusted application or proxy that overrides the Okta client request OR configuring MFA, you must use combinations of SSOProperties to authenticate using Okta. Set any of the following, as applicable:

  • APIToken: When authenticating a user via a trusted application or proxy that overrides the Okta client request context, set this to the API Token the customer created from the Okta organization.
  • MFAType: If you have configured the MFA flow, set this to one of the following supported types: OktaVerify, Email, or SMS.
  • MFAPassCode: If you have configured the MFA flow, set this to a valid passcode.
    If you set this to empty or an invalid value, the Cloud issues a one-time password challenge to your device or email. After the passcode is received, reopen the connection where the retrieved one-time password value is set to the MFAPassCode connection property.
  • MFARememberDevice: True by default. Okta supports remembering devices when MFA is required. If remembering devices is allowed according to the configured authentication policies, the Cloud sends a device token to extend MFA authentication lifetime. If you do not want MFA to be remembered, set this variable to False.

Example connection string:

AuthScheme=Okta; AWSRegion=Ireland; Database=sampledb; [email protected]; Password=CH8WerW121235647iCa6; SSOLoginURL='https://cdata-us.okta.com/home/amazon_aws/0oa35m8arsAL5f5NrE6NdA356/272'; SSOProperties='ApiToken=01230GGG2ceAnm_tPAf4MhiMELXZ0L0N1pAYrO1VR-hGQSf;'; AWSRoleArn=arn:aws:iam::1234:role/Okta_SSO; AWSPrincipalARN=arn:aws:iam::1234:saml-provider/OktaProvider; S3StagingDirectory=s3://athena/staging;

PingFederate

To connect to PingFederate, set these properties:

  • AuthScheme: PingFederate.
  • User: The authenticating PingFederate user.
  • Password: The authenticating user's PingFederate password.
  • SSOLoginURL: The SSO provider's login URL.
  • AWSRoleARN (optional): If you have multiple role ARNs, specify the one you want to use for authorization.
  • AWSPrincipalARN (optional): If you have multiple principal ARNs, specify the one you want to use for authorization.
  • SSOExchangeURL: The Partner Service Identifier URI configured in your PingFederate server instance under: SP Connections > SP Connection > WS-Trust > Protocol Settings. This should uniquely identify a PingFederate SP Connection, so it is a good idea to set it to your AWS SSO ACS URL. You can find it under AWS SSO > Settings > View Details next to the Authentication field.
  • SSOProperties (optional): If you want to include your username and password as an authorization header in requests to Amazon S3, set this to Authscheme=Basic.

To enable mutual SSL authentication for SSOLoginURL, the WS-Trust STS endpoint, configure these SSOProperties:

  • SSLClientCert
  • SSLClientCertType
  • SSLClientCertSubject
  • SSLClientCertPassword

Example connection string:

authScheme=pingfederate;SSOLoginURL=https://mycustomserver.com:9033/idp/sts.wst;SSOExchangeUrl=https://us-east-1.signin.aws.amazon.com/platform/saml/acs/764ef411-xxxxxx;user=admin;password=PassValue;AWSPrincipalARN=arn:aws:iam::215338515180:saml-provider/pingFederate;AWSRoleArn=arn:aws:iam::215338515180:role/SSOTest2;AWSRegion=Ireland;S3StagingDirectory=s3://somedirectory/staging;Database=athenadatabase;

Credentials Files

You can use any credentials file to authenticate, including any configurations related to AccessKey/SecretKey authentication, temporary credentials, role authentication, or MFA.

To do this, set these properties:

  • AuthScheme: AwsCredentialsFile.
  • AWSCredentialsFile: The location of your credentials file.
  • AWSCredentialsFileProfile (optional): The name of the profile you would like to use from the specified credentials file. If not specified, the default profile is used.
For further information, see AWS Command Line Interface User Guide.

AWS Cognito Credentials

If you want to use the Cloud with a user registered in a User Pool in AWS Cognito, set these properties:

  • AuthScheme: Either AwsCognitoSrp (recommended) or AwsCognitoBasic.
  • AWSCognitoRegion: The User Pool region.
  • AWSUserPoolId: The User Pool ID.
  • AWSUserPoolClientAppId: The User Pool Client App ID.
  • AWSUserPoolClientAppSecret: The User Pool Client Secret.
  • AWSIdentityPoolId: The Identity Pool ID of the Identity Pool that is linked with the User Pool.
  • User: The username of the user registered in the User Pool.
  • Password: The password of the user registered in the User Pool.

AWS DataZone IDC

If you want to use the Cloud with DataZone IDC, set these properties:

  • AuthScheme: AwsDataZoneIDC
  • InitiateOAuth: GetAndRefresh to enable browser pop-up.
  • AWSDataZoneDomainRegion: The DataZone region.
  • AWSDataZoneDomainId: The DataZone domain ID.
  • AWSDataZoneEnvironmentId: The DataZone environment ID.
  • AWSIdentityCenterIssuerUrl: The AWS IDC Issuer URL.
  • Workgroup: Optional, based on configured permissions.

Azure Active Directory

Note: Microsoft has rebranded Azure AD as Entra ID. In topics that require the user to interact with the Entra ID Admin site, we use the same names Microsoft does. However, there are still CData connection properties whose names or values reference "Azure AD".

This configuration uses the OAuth 2.0 On-Behalf-Of flow (Microsoft identity platform and OAuth 2.0 On-Behalf-Of flow ), which requires two Microsoft Entra applications:

  • the Amazon Athena application used for single sign-on
  • a separate "connector" application with user_impersonation permission on the Amazon Athena application

Creating the SSO Application

Follow the steps outlined in Microsoft's AWS Single-Account Access documentation to create the SSO application and set Microsoft Entra ID as the SAML IdP for an AWS single-account app.

To create an application with user_impersonation permission on the SSO application, follow these steps:

  1. Sign into the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a Cloud Application Administrator.
  2. Navigate to Identity > Applications > App registrations.
  3. Click New application at the top of the page.
  4. Enter a name and select supported account types as desired.
  5. Select Web in the Redirect URI dropdown, and enter http://localhost:33333.
  6. Select Register.
  7. In the "Overview" section, you can see your OAuthClientId (Application ID).
  8. Select API permissions > Add a permission.
  9. Select the API of your SSO application by specifying its name or Application Id in the "APIs my organization uses" tab.
  10. Select user_impersonation from the available list of Permissions.
  11. Select Add permissions.
  12. Select Certificates & secrets.
  13. Select New client secret.
  14. Optionally, enter a description and change the default Expires value, then select Add.
  15. Save your client secret (the Value field of the OAuth secret that is displayed).
After configuring both applications, specify the following OAuth connection properties to connect with the driver:

  • OAuthClientId: The application Id of the connector application, listed in the Overview section of the application registration.
  • OAuthClientSecret : The client secret value of the connector application. Azure AD displays this when you create a new client secret.
  • CallbackURL: Set this to the redirect URI of the connector application. For example: https://localhost:33333.
  • InitiateOAuth: GETANDREFRESH.

Use these SSO Properties to authenticate to AzureAD:

  • Resource: The application Id URI of the Amazon Athena application, listed in the Overview section of the application registration. In most cases this is the URL of your custom Amazon Athena domain.
  • AzureTenant: The Id of the Azure AD tenant where the applications are registered.

Example connection string:

AuthScheme=AzureAD;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;OAuthClientId=3ea1c786-d527-4399-8c3b-2e3696ae4b48;OauthClientSecret=xxx;CallbackUrl=https://localhost:33333;SSOProperties='Resource=https://signin.aws.amazon.com/saml;AzureTenant=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx';

CData Cloud

Fine-Tuning Data Access

Customizing Amazon Athena Behavior

Follow the steps below to configure the Cloud defaults for querying Amazon Athena.

Using QueryPassthrough

Amazon Athena supports a set of queries that are not specified in the regular SQL-92 standard; to execute these queries simply set QueryPassthrough to true. This will pass the query directly to Amazon Athena without parsing it internally.

Flattening Nested Objects and Arrays

The Cloud is capable of flattening array elements and object properties into columns. See the pages for FlattenArrays and FlattenObjects for more information.

Encrypting Query Results to S3

Set EncryptionKey and EncryptionType if you would like to encrypt the result set stored in S3 after query execution.

To encrypt results stored in S3, follow the steps below:

  1. Navigate to Amazon Athena Console.
  2. Click Settings.
  3. Enable the Encrypt Query Results option.
  4. Select the Encryption type and set EncryptionType when you connect.
  5. If you selected SSE-KMS or CSE-KMS, set both EncryptionType and EncryptionKey: select an encryption key in the menu or click Create KMS Key.

CData Cloud

Performance

Cleaning Query Results

Amazon Athena stores the results of every query you execute in CSV files in S3StagingDirectory; these can quickly rack up a lot of space in Amazon S3. You can use CleanQueryResults, enabled by default, to clean these files for every query executed.

Note that this behavior will add a minor performance hit when you disconnect the last connection in a process.

Using Athena's Query Caching

You configure QueryCachingLevel to modify the usage of the query results stored in S3StagingDirectory; note that you have to keep the connection open to benefit from this feature. This is especially helpful when executing a certain query multiple times. This means Amazon Athena will not scan the same data again and simply use the results from the previous execution. These results are cleaned in the amount of seconds specified in QueryTolerance.

Note that failing to properly disconnect the connection when QueryCachingLevel is set to Cloud may lead to a large amount of saved queries in Athena. For most use cases setting QueryCachingLevel to Local should be enough.

Fine Tuning Performance

You can use the PageSize property to optimize use of your provisioned throughput, based on the size of your items and Amazon Athena's 1000MB page size. Set this property to the number of items to return.

Generally, a smaller page size reduces spikes in throughput that cause throttling. A smaller page size also inserts pauses between requests. This interval evens out the distribution of requests and allows more requests to be successful by avoiding throttling.

CData Cloud

Minimum IAM Permissions

We recommend using predefined roles for services rather than creating custom IAM policies, but it if you want to create custom polices, use the roles described in the table below. Note that the specific policies required by the Amazon Athena driver are subject to change in future releases. Amazon Athena requires at a minimum the following permissions:

IAM Role Description
s3:ListBucketList all the items of source buckets. These items are usually the tables you want to query data from. This action supports resource-level permissions, so you can specify the buckets in "Resource".
s3:GetObjectRead the file with the data you want to query. You can give permission to read specific items in the bucket, for example, arn:aws:s3:::source-bucket1/Customers.csv, or give permission to read all items in the bucket, for example, arn:aws:s3:::source-bucket1/*.
s3:GetBucketLocation
s3:GetObject
s3:ListBucket
s3:ListBucketMultipartUploads
s3:AbortMultipartUpload
s3:PutObject
s3:ListMultipartUploadParts
s3:DeleteObject
These actions are required to be active at the same time to write the results of the query to the destination bucket, which corresponds to the connection property S3StagingDirectory. The driver then reads the metadata and data from this location and deletes these temporary files at the end. See Access denied error for more information.
athena:ListDataCatalogsRetrieve the list of data catalogs for the current AWS account. This action does not support resource-specific permissions, so Resource is always *.
athena:GetDataCatalogRetrieve metadata about a specific data catalog. This action supports resource-specific permissions. For example, giving permission to all the data catalogs in the Northern Virginia region: "Resource":
"arn:aws:athena:us-east-1:987654321098:datacatalog/*"
athena:GetTableMetadataRetrieve metadata about a specific table. This action supports resource-specific permissions, just like athena:GetDataCatalog.
athena:ListTableMetadataList table metadata in a database for a given data catalog. This action supports resource-specific permissions, just like athena:GetDataCatalog.
athena:StartQueryExecutionStart the execution of a query in Athena. This action supports resource-specific permissions. For example, giving permission to the primary workgroup in the Northern Virginia region: arn:aws:athena:us-east-1:987654321098:workgroup/primary
athena:GetQueryResultsRetrieve the query results. This action supports resource-specific permissions, just like athena:StartQueryExecution.
athena:GetQueryExecutionRetrieve information about the query execution, for example, to check if the query execution is still running. This action supports resource-specific permissions, just like athena:StartQueryExecution.
glue:GetTablesList the tables in a database. This action supports resource-specific permissions. For example, to list all the tables in the Northern Virginia region:
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:glue:region123:111111111111:table/*/*",
                "arn:aws:glue:region123:111111111111:database/*",
                "arn:aws:glue:region123:111111111111:catalog"
            ]
			
glue:GetDatabasesList all the databases in a data catalog. This action supports resource-specific permissions, just like glue:GetTables.
glue:GetTableRetrieve a table. This action supports resource-specific permissions, just like glue:GetTables.

Federated Queries

If you are using federated queries, i.e., using Lambda functions to get data from other sources, you need Lambda permissions as well. For example, to give lambda:InvokeFunction permissions on a resource with the name cloudwatchtest1 in Northern Virginia:
    {
        "Effect": "Allow",
        "Action": [
            "lambda:InvokeFunction"
        ],
        "Resource": [
            "arn:aws:lambda:us-east-1:987654321098:function:cloudwatchtest1"
        ]
    }
 
Only the Lambda permission is optional. All the other permissions are required to do a simple SELECT with the driver.

CData Cloud

SSL Configuration

Customizing the SSL Configuration

By default, the Cloud attempts to negotiate TLS with the server. The server certificate is validated against the default system trusted certificate store. You can override how the certificate gets validated using the SSLServerCert connection property.

To specify another certificate, see the SSLServerCert connection property.

CData Cloud

Firewall and Proxy

Connecting Through a Firewall or Proxy

HTTP Proxies

To authenticate to an HTTP proxy, set the following:

  • ProxyServer: the hostname or IP address of the proxy server that you want to route HTTP traffic through.
  • ProxyPort: the TCP port that the proxy server is running on.
  • ProxyAuthScheme: the authentication method the Cloud uses when authenticating to the proxy server.
  • ProxyUser: the username of a user account registered with the proxy server.
  • ProxyPassword: the password associated with the ProxyUser.

Other Proxies

Set the following properties:

  • To use a proxy-based firewall, set FirewallType, FirewallServer, and FirewallPort.
  • To tunnel the connection, set FirewallType to TUNNEL.
  • To authenticate, specify FirewallUser and FirewallPassword.
  • To authenticate to a SOCKS proxy, additionally set FirewallType to SOCKS5.

CData Cloud

Data Model

Stored Procedures

Stored Procedures are function-like interfaces to Amazon Athena. They can be used to search, update, and modify information in Amazon Athena.

System Tables

System tables are a CData-provided set of tables that contain driver metadata. You can use system tables to access schema information, data source functionality, and batch operation statistics.

CData Cloud

Modeling Objects

CData Cloud - Amazon Athena Data Model

The Cloud dynamically extracts all relevant schema information from Amazon Athena via the REST API.

Discovering Schemas

By default, all Amazon Athena entities will be exposed as views. However, the Cloud is also capable of dividing object types into the following types from the Amazon Athena API :

  • TABLE
  • VIEW

You can enable this functionality by setting MetadataDiscoveryMethod to Glue. This method will require you to also add the necessary IAM profiles for the user.

Alternatively, you can use the Athena discovery method, though this method is slower.

  • MetadataDiscoveryMethod: Set this to Athena.
  • IncludeTableTypes: Set this to True.

Note that while the Cloud can break Amazon Athena objects into these types, they are all considered to be read-only. Reconnect to load any changes in the metadata, such as added or removed columns or changes in data type.

CData Cloud

Stored Procedures

Stored procedures are function-like interfaces that extend the functionality of the Cloud beyond simple SELECT/INSERT operations with Amazon Athena.

Stored procedures accept a list of parameters, perform their intended function, and then return any relevant response data from Amazon Athena, along with an indication of whether the procedure succeeded or failed.

  • AwsIAMRoles: Authenticate using IAM Roles.
  • AwsEC2Roles: Automatically use IAM Roles assigned to the EC2 machine where Cloud is currently running.
  • Okta: Set to use a single sign on connection with OKTA as the identity provider.
  • ADFS: Set to use a single sign on connection with ADFS as the identity provider.
  • PingFederate: Set to use a single sign on connection with PingFederate as the identity provider.
  • AwsCredentialsFile: Set to use a credential file for authentication.
  • AwsCognitoSrp: Set to use Cognito based authentication. This is recommended over AwsCognitoBasic because this option does NOT send the password to the server for authentication, instead it uses the SRP protocol.
  • AwsCognitoBasic: Set to use Cognito based authentication.
  • AwsDataZoneIDC: Set to use DataZone IDC authentication.

CData Cloud

AWSRoleARN

The Amazon Resource Name of the role to use when authenticating.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

When authenticating outside of AWS, it is common to use a Role for authentication instead of your direct AWS account credentials. Entering the AWSRoleARN will cause the CData Cloud to perform a role based authentication instead of using the AWSAccessKey and AWSSecretKey directly. The AWSAccessKey and AWSSecretKey must still be specified to perform this authentication. You cannot use the credentials of an AWS root user when setting RoleARN. The AWSAccessKey and AWSSecretKey must be those of an IAM user.

CData Cloud

AWSPrincipalARN

The ARN of the SAML Identity provider in your AWS account.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

The ARN of the SAML Identity provider in your AWS account.

CData Cloud

AWSSessionToken

Your AWS session token.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

Your AWS session token. This value can be retrieved in different ways. See this link for more info.

CData Cloud

AWSExternalId

A unique identifier that might be required when you assume a role in another account.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

A unique identifier that might be required when you assume a role in another account.

CData Cloud

MFASerialNumber

The serial number of the MFA device if one is being used.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

You can find the device for an IAM user by going to the AWS Management Console and viewing the user's security credentials. For virtual devices, this is actually an Amazon Resource Name (such as arn:aws:iam::123456789012:mfa/user).

CData Cloud

MFAToken

The temporary token available from your MFA device.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

If MFA is required, this value will be used along with the MFASerialNumber to retrieve temporary credentials to login. The temporary credentials available from AWS will only last up to 1 hour by default (see TemporaryTokenDuration). Once the time is up, the connection must be updated to specify a new MFA token so that new credentials may be obtained.

CData Cloud

TemporaryTokenDuration

The amount of time (in seconds) a temporary token will last.

Data Type

string

Default Value

"3600"

Remarks

Temporary tokens are used with both MFA and Role based authentication. Temporary tokens will eventually time out, at which time a new temporary token must be obtained. For situations where MFA is not used, this is not a big deal. The CData Cloud will internally request a new temporary token once the temporary token has expired.

However, for MFA required connection, a new MFAToken must be specified in the connection to retrieve a new temporary token. This is a more intrusive issue since it requires an update to the connection by the user. The maximum and minimum that can be specified will depend largely on the connection being used.

For Role based authentication, the minimum duration is 900 seconds (15 minutes) while the maximum if 3600 (1 hour). Even if MFA is used with role based authentication, 3600 is still the maximum.

For MFA authentication by itself (using an IAM User or root user), the minimum is 900 seconds (15 minutes), the maximum is 129600 (36 hours).

CData Cloud

CData Cloud

SSOProperties

Additional properties required to connect to the identity provider in a semicolon-separated list.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

Additional properties required to connect to the identity provider in a semicolon-separated list. SSOProperties is used in conjunction with the the AWSRoleARN and AWSPrincipalARN. The following section provides an example using the OKTA identity provider.

ADFS

To connect to ADFS, set these properties:

  • AuthScheme: ADFS.
  • User: The authenticating ADFS user.
  • Password: The password of the authenticating ADFS user.
  • SSOLoginURL: The SSO provider's login URL.

Example connection string:

AuthScheme=ADFS; AWSRegion=Ireland; Database=sampledb; [email protected]; Password=CH8WerW121235647iCa6; SSOLoginURL='https://adfs.domain.com'; AWSRoleArn=arn:aws:iam::1234:role/ADFS_SSO; AWSPrincipalArn=arn:aws:iam::1234:saml-provider/ADFSProvider; S3StagingDirectory=s3://athena/staging;

ADFS Integrated

The ADFS Integrated flow indicates you are connecting with the user credentials of the currently logged in Windows user. To use the ADFS Integrated flow, do not specify the User and Password, but otherwise follow the same steps noted above under ADFS.

Okta

To connect to Okta, set these properties:

  • AuthScheme: Okta.
  • User: The authentiating Okta user.
  • Password: The password of the authenticating Okta user.
  • SSOLoginURL: The SSO provider's login URL.

If you are either using a trusted application or proxy that overrides the Okta client request OR configuring MFA, you must use combinations of SSOProperties to authenticate using Okta. Set any of the following, as applicable:

  • APIToken: When authenticating a user via a trusted application or proxy that overrides the Okta client request context, set this to the API Token the customer created from the Okta organization.
  • MFAType: If you have configured the MFA flow, set this to one of the following supported types: OktaVerify, Email, or SMS.
  • MFAPassCode: If you have configured the MFA flow, set this to a valid passcode.
    If you set this to empty or an invalid value, the Cloud issues a one-time password challenge to your device or email. After the passcode is received, reopen the connection where the retrieved one-time password value is set to the MFAPassCode connection property.
  • MFARememberDevice: True by default. Okta supports remembering devices when MFA is required. If remembering devices is allowed according to the configured authentication policies, the Cloud sends a device token to extend MFA authentication lifetime. If you do not want MFA to be remembered, set this variable to False.

Example connection string:

AuthScheme=Okta; AWSRegion=Ireland; Database=sampledb; [email protected]; Password=CH8WerW121235647iCa6; SSOLoginURL='https://cdata-us.okta.com/home/amazon_aws/0oa35m8arsAL5f5NrE6NdA356/272'; SSOProperties='ApiToken=01230GGG2ceAnm_tPAf4MhiMELXZ0L0N1pAYrO1VR-hGQSf;'; AWSRoleArn=arn:aws:iam::1234:role/Okta_SSO; AWSPrincipalARN=arn:aws:iam::1234:saml-provider/OktaProvider; S3StagingDirectory=s3://athena/staging;

CData Cloud

SSOExchangeURL

The URL used for consuming the SAML response and exchanging it for service specific credentials.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

The CData Cloud will use the URL specified here to consume a SAML response and exchange it for service specific credentials. The retrieved credentials are the final piece during the SSO connection that are used to communicate with Amazon Athena.

CData Cloud

OAuth

This section provides a complete list of the OAuth properties you can configure in the connection string for this provider.


PropertyDescription
OAuthClientIdSpecifies the client ID (also known as the consumer key) assigned to your custom OAuth application. This ID is required to identify the application to the OAuth authorization server during authentication.
OAuthClientSecretSpecifies the client secret assigned to your custom OAuth application. This confidential value is used to authenticate the application to the OAuth authorization server. (Custom OAuth applications only.).
CData Cloud

OAuthClientId

Specifies the client ID (also known as the consumer key) assigned to your custom OAuth application. This ID is required to identify the application to the OAuth authorization server during authentication.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property is required in two cases:

  • When using a custom OAuth application, such as in web-based authentication flows, service-based authentication, or certificate-based flows that require application registration.
  • If the driver does not provide embedded OAuth credentials.

(When the driver provides embedded OAuth credentials, this value may already be provided by the Cloud and thus not require manual entry.)

OAuthClientId is generally used alongside other OAuth-related properties such as OAuthClientSecret and OAuthSettingsLocation when configuring an authenticated connection.

OAuthClientId is one of the key connection parameters that need to be set before users can authenticate via OAuth. You can usually find this value in your identity provider’s application registration settings. Look for a field labeled Client ID, Application ID, or Consumer Key.

While the client ID is not considered a confidential value like a client secret, it is still part of your application's identity and should be handled carefully. Avoid exposing it in public repositories or shared configuration files.

For more information on how this property is used when configuring a connection, see Establishing a Connection.

CData Cloud

OAuthClientSecret

Specifies the client secret assigned to your custom OAuth application. This confidential value is used to authenticate the application to the OAuth authorization server. (Custom OAuth applications only.).

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property (sometimes called the application secret or consumer secret) is required when using a custom OAuth application in any flow that requires secure client authentication, such as web-based OAuth, service-based connections, or certificate-based authorization flows. It is not required when using an embedded OAuth application.

The client secret is used during the token exchange step of the OAuth flow, when the driver requests an access token from the authorization server. If this value is missing or incorrect, authentication fails with either an invalid_client or an unauthorized_client error.

OAuthClientSecret is one of the key connection parameters that need to be set before users can authenticate via OAuth. You can obtain this value from your identity provider when registering the OAuth application.

Notes:

  • This value should be stored securely and never exposed in public repositories, scripts, or unsecured environments.
  • Client secrets may also expire after a set period. Be sure to monitor expiration dates and rotate secrets as needed to maintain uninterrupted access.

For more information on how this property is used when configuring a connection, see Establishing a Connection

CData Cloud

SSL

This section provides a complete list of the SSL properties you can configure in the connection string for this provider.


PropertyDescription
SSLServerCertSpecifies the certificate to be accepted from the server when connecting using TLS/SSL.
CData Cloud

SSLServerCert

Specifies the certificate to be accepted from the server when connecting using TLS/SSL.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

If you are using a TLS/SSL connection, use this property to specify the TLS/SSL certificate to be accepted from the server. If you specify a value for this property, all other certificates that are not trusted by the machine are rejected.

This property can take the following forms:

Description Example
A full PEM Certificate (example shortened for brevity) -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIChTCCAe4CAQAwDQYJKoZIhv......Qw==
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
A path to a local file containing the certificate C:\cert.cer
The public key (example shortened for brevity) -----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY-----
MIGfMA0GCSq......AQAB
-----END RSA PUBLIC KEY-----
The MD5 Thumbprint (hex values can also be either space- or colon-separated) ecadbdda5a1529c58a1e9e09828d70e4
The SHA1 Thumbprint (hex values can also be either space- or colon-separated) 34a929226ae0819f2ec14b4a3d904f801cbb150d

Note: It is possible to use '*' to signify that all certificates should be accepted, but due to security concerns this is not recommended.

CData Cloud

Logging

This section provides a complete list of the Logging properties you can configure in the connection string for this provider.


PropertyDescription
VerbositySpecifies the verbosity level of the log file, which controls the amount of detail logged. Supported values range from 1 to 5.
CData Cloud

Verbosity

Specifies the verbosity level of the log file, which controls the amount of detail logged. Supported values range from 1 to 5.

Data Type

string

Default Value

"1"

Remarks

This property defines the level of detail the Cloud includes in the log file. Higher verbosity levels increase the detail of the logged information, but may also result in larger log files and slower performance due to the additional data being captured.

The default verbosity level is 1, which is recommended for regular operation. Higher verbosity levels are primarily intended for debugging purposes. For more information on each level, refer to Logging.

When combined with the LogModules property, Verbosity can refine logging to specific categories of information.

CData Cloud

Schema

This section provides a complete list of the Schema properties you can configure in the connection string for this provider.


PropertyDescription
BrowsableSchemasOptional setting that restricts the schemas reported to a subset of all available schemas. For example, BrowsableSchemas=SchemaA,SchemaB,SchemaC .
FlattenArraysBy default, arrays are returned as strings of JSON. The FlattenArrays property can be used to flatten the elements of arrays into columns of their own. Set FlattenArrays to the number of elements you want to return from arrays.
FlattenObjectsSet FlattenObjects to true to flatten object properties into columns of their own. Otherwise, objects nested in arrays are returned as strings of JSON.
CData Cloud

BrowsableSchemas

Optional setting that restricts the schemas reported to a subset of all available schemas. For example, BrowsableSchemas=SchemaA,SchemaB,SchemaC .

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

Listing all available database schemas can take extra time, thus degrading performance. Providing a list of schemas in the connection string saves time and improves performance.

CData Cloud

FlattenArrays

By default, arrays are returned as strings of JSON. The FlattenArrays property can be used to flatten the elements of arrays into columns of their own. Set FlattenArrays to the number of elements you want to return from arrays.

Data Type

int

Default Value

0

Remarks

By default, arrays are returned as strings of JSON. The FlattenArrays property can be used to flatten the elements of arrays into columns of their own. This is only recommended for arrays that are expected to be short.

Set FlattenArrays to the number of elements you want to return from arrays. The specified elements are returned as columns. The zero-based index is concatenated to the column name. Other elements are ignored.

For example, you can return an arbitrary number of elements from an array of strings:

["FLOW-MATIC","LISP","COBOL"]
When FlattenArrays is set to 1, the preceding array is flattened into the following table:

Column NameColumn Value
languages.0FLOW-MATIC

Setting FlattenArrays to -1 will flatten all the elements of arrays.

CData Cloud

FlattenObjects

Set FlattenObjects to true to flatten object properties into columns of their own. Otherwise, objects nested in arrays are returned as strings of JSON.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

false

Remarks

Set FlattenObjects to true to flatten object properties into columns of their own. Otherwise, objects nested in arrays are returned as strings of JSON. To generate the column name, the Cloud concatenates the property name onto the object name with a dot.

For example, you can flatten the nested objects below at connection time:

[
     { "grade": "A", "score": 2 },
     { "grade": "A", "score": 6 },
     { "grade": "A", "score": 10 },
     { "grade": "A", "score": 9 },
     { "grade": "B", "score": 14 }
]
When FlattenObjects is set to true and FlattenArrays is set to 1, the preceding array is flattened into the following table:

Column NameColumn Value
grades.0.gradeA
grades.0.score2

CData Cloud

Miscellaneous

This section provides a complete list of the Miscellaneous properties you can configure in the connection string for this provider.


PropertyDescription

ResultFetcherThe fetcher that will be used to download query results.
ShowS3FilepathWhether or not to expose the _S3Path column for the Amazon Athena tables.
TimeoutSpecifies the maximum time, in seconds, that the provider waits for a server response before throwing a timeout error.
WorkgroupWork group of the executed queries.
CData Cloud

CleanQueryResults

Amazon Athena produces cache files with every query, in the folder specified in S3StagingDirectory . CleanQueryResults specifies whether these files should be deleted once the connection is closed.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

true

Remarks

Amazon Athena stores the results of every query you execute as a CSV file in S3StagingDirectory. These CSV files can quickly rack up a lot of space in Amazon S3.

You can use CleanQueryResults, enabled by default, to clean these files for every query executed. Note that this behavior will add a minor performance hit when you disconnect the last connection in a process.

See Also

See Fine-Tuning Data Access for more information on configuring Athena's query caching.

CData Cloud

EnableFIPSMode

A boolean indicating if FIPS URLs should be enabled.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

false

Remarks

FIPS or Federal Information Processing Standard are seperate endpoints in Amazon that may be required for certain government organizations. Set EnableFIPSMode to true to switch to using these endpoints. See more information here: https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/fips/.

CData Cloud

MaximumColumnSize

The maximum column size.

Data Type

int

Default Value

255

Remarks

Some tools restrain the largest size of a column or the total size of all the columns selected. You can set the MaximumColumnSize to overcome these schema-based restrictions. The Cloud will not report any column to be larger than the MaximumColumnSize.

Set a MaximumColumnSize of zero to eliminate limits on column size, as shown in the following example:

CData Cloud

MaxRows

Specifies the maximum number of rows returned for queries that do not include either aggregation or GROUP BY.

Data Type

int

Default Value

-1

Remarks

The default value for this property, -1, means that no row limit is enforced unless the query explicitly includes a LIMIT clause. (When a query includes a LIMIT clause, the value specified in the query takes precedence over the MaxRows setting.)

Setting MaxRows to a whole number greater than 0 ensures that queries do not return excessively large result sets by default.

This property is useful for optimizing performance and preventing excessive resource consumption when executing queries that could otherwise return very large datasets.

CData Cloud

PageSize

The number of results to return per page of data retrieved from Amazon Athena.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property determines the number of results to return per page of data retrieved from Amazon Athena. See Fine-Tuning Data Access for more information on settings this property to avoid request throttling. When using ResultFetcher=GetQueryResults, the default and maximum allowed value is 1000.

CData Cloud

PollingInterval

This determines the polling interval in milliseconds to check whether the result is ready to be retrieved.

Data Type

string

Default Value

"100"

Remarks

This property determines how long to wait between checking whether or not the query's results are ready. Very large resultsets or complex queries may take longer to process, and a low polling interval may result in many unnecessary requests being made to check the query status.

CData Cloud

PseudoColumns

Specifies the pseudocolumns to expose as table columns, expressed as a string in the format 'TableName=ColumnName;TableName=ColumnName'.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property allows you to define which pseudocolumns the Cloud exposes as table columns.

To specify individual pseudocolumns, use the following format:

Table1=Column1;Table1=Column2;Table2=Column3

To include all pseudocolumns for all tables use:

*=*

CData Cloud

PushEmptyValuesAsNull

Indicates whether to read the empty values as empty or as null.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

false

Remarks

Indicates whether to read the empty values as empty or as null.

CData Cloud

QueryCachingLevel

Modifies the usage of query results stored in S3StagingDirectory . Cached queries will not be scanned again by Amazon Athena until the amount of seconds specified in QueryTolerance has passed.

Possible Values

None, Local, Cloud

Data Type

string

Default Value

"Local"

Remarks

Modifies the usage of query results stored in S3StagingDirectory. Cached queries will not be scanned again by Amazon Athena until the amount of seconds specified in QueryTolerance has passed. The casing of the queries must match exactly to trigger the behavior, which is explained below:

LocalSetting QueryCachingLevel to Local will persist the query Id returned by Amazon Athena after a query execution individually for every connection. Closing the connection will clean the cache, so that only a single connection can make use of the results.
CloudSetting QueryCachingLevel to Cloud will persist the query Id in the form of a named query in Amazon Athena. Closing the connection will only clean the results if it is the last open connection in a process, so that multiple connections can make use of the results.
NoneSetting QueryCachingLevel to None will disable the feature.

CData Cloud

QueryTimeout

The timeout in seconds for requests issued by the provider to download large result sets.

Data Type

int

Default Value

1800

Remarks

If the QueryTimeout property is set to 0, operations will not time out; instead, they will run until they complete successfully or encounter an error condition. This property is distinct from Timeout which applies to individual HTTP operations while QueryTimeout applies to execution time of the operation as a whole.

If QueryTimeout expires and the request has not finished being processed, the Cloud raises an error condition.

CData Cloud

QueryTolerance

Specifies the amount of time in seconds queries cache for if QueryCachingLevel is not set to None.

Data Type

string

Default Value

"600"

Remarks

Specifies the amount of time in seconds queries will cache for if QueryCachingLevel is not set to None. Values lower than 1 are not accepted.

CData Cloud

ResultFetcher

The fetcher that will be used to download query results.

Possible Values

S3, GetQueryResults, GetQueryResultsStream

Data Type

string

Default Value

"S3"

Remarks

This property determines how query results are fetched. If set to S3, query results are downloaded directly from Amazon S3. If set to GetQueryResults, query results are fetched utilizing the Athena APIs. If set to GetQueryResultsStream, results are fetched utilizing the Athena Stream API.

CData Cloud

ShowS3Filepath

Whether or not to expose the _S3Path column for the Amazon Athena tables.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

false

Remarks

The _S3Path column refers to the Amazon Athena's $path column, which returns the path of the source Amazon S3 file for each row in the output.

The Cloud will expose the _S3Path column for each table, only if this connection property is set to TRUE.

CData Cloud

Timeout

Specifies the maximum time, in seconds, that the provider waits for a server response before throwing a timeout error.

Data Type

int

Default Value

60

Remarks

The timeout applies to each individual communication with the server rather than the entire query or operation. For example, a query could continue running beyond 60 seconds if each paging call completes within the timeout limit.

Timeout is set to 60 seconds by default. To disable timeouts, set this property to 0.

Disabling the timeout allows operations to run indefinitely until they succeed or fail due to other conditions such as server-side timeouts, network interruptions, or resource limits on the server.

Note: Use this property cautiously to avoid long-running operations that could degrade performance or result in unresponsive behavior.

CData Cloud

Workgroup

Work group of the executed queries.

Data Type

string

Default Value

""

Remarks

Work group of the executed queries.

NSIS 3.10

Copyright (C) 1999-2025 Contributors THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS COMMON PUBLIC LICENSE ("AGREEMENT"). ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.

1. DEFINITIONS

"Contribution" means:

a) in the case of the initial Contributor, the initial code and documentation distributed under this Agreement, and b) in the case of each subsequent Contributor:

i) changes to the Program, and

ii) additions to the Program;

where such changes and/or additions to the Program originate from and are distributed by that particular Contributor. A Contribution 'originates' from a Contributor if it was added to the Program by such Contributor itself or anyone acting on such Contributor's behalf. Contributions do not include additions to the Program which: (i) are separate modules of software distributed in conjunction with the Program under their own license agreement, and (ii) are not derivative works of the Program.

"Contributor" means any person or entity that distributes the Program.

"Licensed Patents " mean patent claims licensable by a Contributor which are necessarily infringed by the use or sale of its Contribution alone or when combined with the Program.

"Program" means the Contributions distributed in accordance with this Agreement.

"Recipient" means anyone who receives the Program under this Agreement, including all Contributors.

2. GRANT OF RIGHTS

a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute and sublicense the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, and such derivative works, in source code and object code form.

b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under Licensed Patents to make, use, sell, offer to sell, import and otherwise transfer the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, in source code and object code form. This patent license shall apply to the combination of the Contribution and the Program if, at the time the Contribution is added by the Contributor, such addition of the Contribution causes such combination to be covered by the Licensed Patents. The patent license shall not apply to any other combinations which include the Contribution. No hardware per se is licensed hereunder.

c) Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the licenses to its Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are provided by any Contributor that the Program does not infringe the patent or other intellectual property rights of any other entity. Each Contributor disclaims any liability to Recipient for claims brought by any other entity based on infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise. As a condition to exercising the rights and licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby assumes sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights needed, if any. For example, if a third party patent license is required to allow Recipient to distribute the Program, it is Recipient's responsibility to acquire that license before distributing the Program.

d) Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has sufficient copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant the copyright license set forth in this Agreement.

3. REQUIREMENTS

A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code form under its own license agreement, provided that:

a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and

b) its license agreement:

i) effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contributors all warranties and conditions, express and implied, including warranties or conditions of title and non-infringement, and implied warranties or conditions of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose;

ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all liability for damages, including direct, indirect, special, incidental and consequential damages, such as lost profits;

iii) states that any provisions which differ from this Agreement are offered by that Contributor alone and not by any other party; and

iv) states that source code for the Program is available from such Contributor, and informs licensees how to obtain it in a reasonable manner on or through a medium customarily used for software exchange.

When the Program is made available in source code form:

a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and

b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the Program.

Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright notices contained within the Program.

Each Contributor must identify itself as the originator of its Contribution, if any, in a manner that reasonably allows subsequent Recipients to identify the originator of the Contribution.

4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION

Commercial distributors of software may accept certain responsibilities with respect to end users, business partners and the like. While this license is intended to facilitate the commercial use of the Program, the Contributor who includes the Program in a commercial product offering should do so in a manner which does not create potential liability for other Contributors. Therefore, if a Contributor includes the Program in a commercial product offering, such Contributor ("Commercial Contributor") hereby agrees to defend and indemnify every other Contributor ("Indemnified Contributor") against any losses, damages and costs (collectively "Losses") arising from claims, lawsuits and other legal actions brought by a third party against the Indemnified Contributor to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of such Commercial Contributor in connection with its distribution of the Program in a commercial product offering. The obligations in this section do not apply to any claims or Losses relating to any actual or alleged intellectual property infringement. In order to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must: a) promptly notify the Commercial Contributor in writing of such claim, and b) allow the Commercial Contributor to control, and cooperate with the Commercial Contributor in, the defense and any related settlement negotiations. The Indemnified Contributor may participate in any such claim at its own expense.

For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a commercial product offering, Product X. That Contributor is then a Commercial Contributor. If that Commercial Contributor then makes performance claims, or offers warranties related to Product X, those performance claims and warranties are such Commercial Contributor's responsibility alone. Under this section, the Commercial Contributor would have to defend claims against the other Contributors related to those performance claims and warranties, and if a court requires any other Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the Commercial Contributor must pay those damages.

5. NO WARRANTY

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Each Recipient is solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of using and distributing the Program and assumes all risks associated with its exercise of rights under this Agreement, including but not limited to the risks and costs of program errors, compliance with applicable laws, damage to or loss of data, programs or equipment, and unavailability or interruption of operations.

6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER RECIPIENT NOR ANY CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

7. GENERAL

If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the terms of this Agreement, and without further action by the parties hereto, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable.

If Recipient institutes patent litigation against a Contributor with respect to a patent applicable to software (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit), then any patent licenses granted by that Contributor to such Recipient under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed. In addition, if Recipient institutes patent litigation against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Program itself (excluding combinations of the Program with other software or hardware) infringes such Recipient's patent(s), then such Recipient's rights granted under Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.

All Recipient's rights under this Agreement shall terminate if it fails to comply with any of the material terms or conditions of this Agreement and does not cure such failure in a reasonable period of time after becoming aware of such noncompliance. If all Recipient's rights under this Agreement terminate, Recipient agrees to cease use and distribution of the Program as soon as reasonably practicable. However, Recipient's obligations under this Agreement and any licenses granted by Recipient relating to the Program shall continue and survive.

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute copies of this Agreement, but in order to avoid inconsistency the Agreement is copyrighted and may only be modified in the following manner. The Agreement Steward reserves the right to publish new versions (including revisions) of this Agreement from time to time. No one other than the Agreement Steward has the right to modify this Agreement. IBM is the initial Agreement Steward. IBM may assign the responsibility to serve as the Agreement Steward to a suitable separate entity. Each new version of the Agreement will be given a distinguishing version number. The Program (including Contributions) may always be distributed subject to the version of the Agreement under which it was received. In addition, after a new version of the Agreement is published, Contributor may elect to distribute the Program (including its Contributions) under the new version. Except as expressly stated in Sections 2(a) and 2(b) above, Recipient receives no rights or licenses to the intellectual property of any Contributor under this Agreement, whether expressly, by implication, estoppel or otherwise. All rights in the Program not expressly granted under this Agreement are reserved.

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York and the intellectual property laws of the United States of America. No party to this Agreement will bring a legal action under this Agreement more than one year after the cause of action arose. Each party waives its rights to a jury trial in any resulting litigation.
