Philip Thompson commented on CASSANDRA-12294:
---------------------------------------------
[~beobal], am I right in assuming that a change this large should probably only
go into trunk, as far as being merged into main-line?
> LDAP Authentication
> -------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-12294
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12294
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Distributed Metadata
> Reporter: Daniel Kleviansky
> Assignee: Daniel Kleviansky
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: security
> Fix For: 2.2.x, 3.x
>
>
> Addition of an LDAP authentication plugin, in tree, along side the default
> authenticator, so that Cassandra can leverage existing LDAP-speaking servers
> to manage user logins.
> DSE offers this: [Enabling LDAP authentication |
> https://docs.datastax.com/en/datastax_enterprise/4.6/datastax_enterprise/sec/secLdapEnabling.html],
> but does not exist in vanilla C* as far as I can tell.
> Ideally would like to introduce this as part of the 2.2.x branch, as this is
> what is currently running in client production environment, and where it is
> needed at the moment.
> Would aim for support of at least Microsoft Active Directory running on
> Windows Server 2012.
