--------------------------------
Summary: GroupMappingServiceProvider as a Knox Provider
Key: KNOX-237
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KNOX-237
Project: Apache Knox
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Server
Reporter: Larry McCay
Introduce a specific provider for integrating the Hadoop
GroupMappingServiceProvider for looking up group membership of the
authenticated (asserted) identity.
This will allow customers' existing investments in the Hadoop hook to be
leveraged within Knox and used within the access control policy enforcement at
the perimeter.
This mechanism will likely be mutual exclusive of the Shiro provider group
support - though there may be use cases where they could supplement each other.
