-------------------------------------
Summary: Need a plugin API to translate long principal names to
local OS user names arbitrarily
Key: HADOOP-11683
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11683
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: security
Reporter: Sunny Cheung
We need a plugin API to translate long principal names (e.g.
[email protected]) to local OS user names (e.g. user123456) arbitrarily.
For some organizations the name translation is straightforward (e.g.
[email protected] to john_doe), and the hadoop.security.auth_to_local
configurable mapping is sufficient to resolve this (see HADOOP-6526). However,
in some other cases the name translation is arbitrary and cannot be generalized
by a set of translation rules easily.
