--------------------------------------
Summary: API to return information regarding the current user who
is logged in (for SSO)
Key: AMBARI-12131
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-12131
Project: Ambari
Issue Type: Bug
Components: ambari-server
Affects Versions: 2.1.0
Reporter: Sumit Mohanty
Assignee: Sumit Mohanty
Fix For: 2.1.0
This is a scenario where a gateway sits in front of the ambari server host and
provides initial authentication and then forwards the message to the
ambari-server. As the gateway has logged the user, the FE needs to know the
name of the logged on user.
>From the UI side we cannot read request headers using javascript, we can only
>read response headers and write to request headers. In this case we cannot get
>info about what user is currently logged in.
BE can send the current user name in response header.
