Contributions summary:Weixiao focused on adding Kerberos authentication support for JDBC connections within the Apache Linkis project. Their contributions involved modifying the `ConnectionManager` class to handle Kerberos authentication, including creating secure configurations and logging in users from keytabs. Further modifications were made to integrate Kerberos authentication into the `JDBCEngineConnExecutor` and related configuration files. The user's work appears to improve the security and authentication mechanisms within the JDBC engine.
