-------------------------------------
Summary: Use PAM for authentication
Key: RANGER-842
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-842
Project: Ranger
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: admin
Affects Versions: 0.5.1, 0.6.0
Reporter: Bolke de Bruin
Fix For: 0.5.1, 0.6.0
Ranger currently uses shadow based authentication if configured for unix
authentication. This way of authenticating is somewhat outdated as any recent
Linux system (and many of the BSDs) have PAM available. PAM allows multiple
authentication sources and also does authorization.
Ranger should be able to use PAM for authentication
