Can we connect the spark sql using token mechanism in Splunk DB Connect app?

Rather than using the creds, I want to use tokens in Splunk DB Connect to get the data from Spark database.

Q1: Can we change the Auth Mech to token based, while creating the identities or connections in Splunk DB Connect app?

Q2: Can we put authentication parameters into the JDBC url itself?

The possible JDBC url for connecting to the database.

 

jdbc:spark://<hostname>:<port>/<database>;transportMode=<transport_mode>;ssl=1;httpPath=http;AuthMech=3;UID=token;PWD=<token>

DB Connect currently supports only credential-based authentication.  Go to https://ideas.splunk.com to suggest it support token-based authentication.
