I've been doing some work on getting the Metron UIs and REST layers to work with Apache KnoxSSO, and LDAP authentication, to remove the need to store passwords in MySQL, allow AD integration, secure up our authentication points. I'm also working in a Knox service to allow the gateway to provide full SSL for the interfaces and avoid all the proxying and CORS things we have to worry about.
This has ended up being a pretty chunky piece of work which involves very significant changes to the UIs, REST layer, and introduces Knox to the blueprint, as well as messing with the full-dev build scripts, and adding ansible roles. As such, in-order to make it a bit more reviewable, would it be better to contribute it to a feature branch? It could arguably be broken into a series of PRs, but at least some parts of full dev would be broken between most of the logical steps, since it's all kinda co-dependent, so it's easier to look at as a unit.
