Authenticating with SSO

Ibis supports connecting to SSO-enabled Trino clusters using the OAuth2Authentication helper from the trino library.

import ibis
from trino.auth import OAuth2Authentication

con = ibis.trino.connect(
  user="user",
  host="hostname",
  port=443,
  database="database",
  schema="default",
  auth=OAuth2Authentication(),
  http_scheme="https"
)

Connecting to Starburst managed Trino instances

Starburst makes use of role-based access controls. When connecting to a Starburst Trino cluster, if you encounter issues listing or connecting to tables, ensure that a role is specified using the roles keyword.

import ibis

con = ibis.trino.connect(
    user="user",
    host="hostname",
    port=443,
    database="sample",
    schema="demo",
    roles="defaultrolewithtableaccess",
    http_scheme="https"
)

1

Role names will be visible in the Starburst Galaxy dashboard.

Finding your Starburst host

Log into Starburst Galaxy and select Clusters from the left-hand-side menu:

Select Connection info for the cluster you wish to connect to – the username and hostname displayed can be copied directly into the Ibis connect call.
