Description

Beeline is not using password value from the URL.
Using LDAP Auth in this case, so the failure is on connect.
bin/beeline -u "jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000/default;user=test1;password=test1"

On the server side in LdapAuthenticator, the principals come out to (via a special debug logging)

2020-02-11T11:10:31,613 INFO [HiveServer2-Handler-Pool: Thread-67] auth.LdapAuthenticationProviderImpl: Connecting to ldap as user/password:test1:anonymous

This bug may have been introduced via
https://github.com/apache/hive/commit/749e831060381a8ae4775630efb72d5cd040652f

pass = "" ( an empty string on this line)
https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/master/beeline/src/java/org/apache/hive/beeline/BeeLine.java#L848

but on this line of code, it checks to see it is null which will not be true and hence it never picks up from the jdbc url
https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/master/beeline/src/java/org/apache/hive/beeline/BeeLine.java#L900
It has another chance here but pass != null will always be true and never goes into the else condition.
