Larry McCay commented on KNOX-650:
----------------------------------
Hi [~snamsi] - thank you for this patch!
I wonder whether you would be easily able to provide a users.ldif file that
would be configured for posixGroups. That would help in being able to test the
patch and others need an example.
Location would be in templates:
./gateway-release/home/templates/users.posixgroups.ldif
Thanks again!

> Add posixGroups support for LDAP group lookup. The current implementation
> works only with groupOfNames.
> posixGroups have "memberUid" attribute which is different from "member"
> attribute, and when we set main.ldapRealm.memberAttribute equal to
> "memberUid", this line (306) in
> org.apache.hadoop.gateway.shirorealm.KnoxLdapRealm.java:
> {noformat}
> if (userLdapDn.equals(new LdapName(attrValue)))
> {noformat}
> will generate an InvalidNameException because "memberUid" is just an id and
> not formatted according to the rules defined in RFC 2253.
> To fix this, we need to just test if the group is a posixGroup and then
> update attrValue by adding memberAttributeValuePrefix and
> memberAttributeValueSuffix
