Authentication failed: Password not allowed for insecure authentication #101

Closed gitdep closed 1 year ago

gitdep commented 1 year ago

When connecting from Metabase v0.46.5 using the Starburst driver v3.0.1 to Trino 419, I encounter the error "Authentication failed: Password not allowed for insecure authentication." Has anyone encountered this situation and can provide assistance? Thank you.

This is not a Metabase connector issue but an underlying Trino feature: password authentication is not allowed when trying to connect to Trino using HTTP instead of HTTPS. The fix is to either switch to HTTPS or just configure Trino to accept username authentication (without password).
