> Project: Apache Knox

> {{LdapProxyBackend}} reads the AD service-account password as a literal
> string and never resolves credential-store aliases:
> * {{LdapProxyBackend.java:158-161}} - {{bindPassword =
> config.get("bindPassword") / config.get("systemPassword");}} value passed
> verbatim to {{setCredentials()}} (line 282).
> * No {{AliasService}} reference anywhere in the class or its factory.
> * Upstream config ({{{}GatewayConfigImpl.getLDAPInterceptorConfig{}}}) is a
> plain prefix scan with no alias expansion; the only alias-aware LDAP calls
> ({{{}KnoxLDAPServerManager.start{}}}, {{{}resolveSslKeystorePassword{}}}) are
> off this path.
> {*}Impact{*}: An alias reference in
> {{gateway.ldap.interceptor.<name>.bindPassword/.systemPassword}} is used as
> the literal password, so the AD bind fails. Passwords can only be stored in
> cleartext config today.
> {*}Fix{*}: Resolve aliases for the bind/system password on the backend path
> (in {{LdapProxyBackend.init()}} or when the interceptor config is assembled),
> preserving literal values for back-compat.
