-----------------------------------
Summary: Impersonation/proxy user support for gaiandb ranger plugin
Key: RANGER-1850
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-1850
Project: Ranger
Issue Type: Sub-task
Components: plugins
Reporter: Nigel Jones
Applications/users could connect to gaianDB using their own authentication
information - for example userid/password in the simple case. Here the ranger
plugin will use that id for policy checks.
However in a multi tiered architecture a service id (aka non personal account)
may be used, and somehow the user to be impersonated is passed via an
additional property. This has a number of implications to the system
configuration, derby/gaiandb configuration & the plugin implementation.
Opening this Jira as a placeholder and will add a document soon (++days) on the
same to capture some of the discussion around this area in recent days.
