> [Broker-J][ACL] Allow case insensitive mapping of group members to groups in
> existing GroupProvider
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: QPID-8374
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-8374
> Project: Qpid
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Broker-J
> Reporter: Alex Rudyy
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: qpid-java-broker-8.0.0
>
>
> The user groups currently identified by exact equality of authenticated
> principal name and group member name. (See
> {{org.apache.qpid.server.security.group.GroupProviderImpl#getGroupPrincipalsForUser}}
> and
> {{org.apache.qpid.server.model.adapter.FileBasedGroupProviderImpl#getGroupPrincipalsForUser}}.)
> The user groups are used in in ACL to define rules applicable to multiple
> users belonging to the same group. The ACL identities are case insensitive.
> As result, any letter case can be used in identities to express the ACL rule.
> In many cases, when authenticated principals are coming from external systems
> like LDAP, OAUTH2 based providers, etc, and they are case insensitive, it is
> desired to have group mapping case insensitive as well, as it is quite easy
> to make a mistake and specify the group member using upper cased letters
> rather than lower cased, for example, {{cn=Alex,ou=users,dc=qpid,dc=org}} vs
> {{cn=alex,ou=users,dc=qpid,dc=org}}.
> The existing GroupProviders can be modified to allow case insensitive mapping
> of group members to groups. Though, the existing case sensitive group mapping
> behaviour should be preserved for backward compatibility reasons. It should
> be enabled by default. A special switch (either attribute or/and context
> variable ) could be provided to make group mapping case insensitive if
> desired.
