----------------------------------------
Summary: Support header based authentication
Key: RANGER-5499
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-5499
Project: Ranger
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: admin, kms
Reporter: Madhan Neethiraj
Ranger servers currently support multiple authentication mechanisms, including
Kerberos, username/password (LDAP, local users), JWT, SSO. To support
deployments behind proxy servers that handle authentication, Ranger servers
should support header based authentication. When this authentication is
enabled, Ranger should look for a configured HTTP header to find the user name.
In addition to username, groups the user belongs to also can be provided by a
HTTP header. I suggest following configurations:
* ranger.authn.http-header.enabled
* ranger-authn.http-header.username
* ranger-authn.http-header.usergroups
* ranger-authn.http-header.requestid
