---------------------------------
Summary: Identity asserter provider that supports case mapping for
users and groups
Key: KNOX-697
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KNOX-697
Project: Apache Knox
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Server
Affects Versions: 0.9.0
Reporter: Kevin Minder
Fix For: Future
There have been numerous occasions where downstream ecosystem components have
required user and group names to be specific case. Currently Knox does not
enforce the case of the user or group identity and will use whatever is
accepted by the authentication provider. The request here is to add a new
identity-assertion provider that could be configured to do case mapping on user
and group names. It might be configured in a topology file something like what
is shown below.
{code:xml}
<provider>
<role>identity-assertion</role>
<name>SwitchCase</name>
<param name="user" value="upper"/>
<param name="group" value="upper"/>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</provider>
{code}
