> Allow 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
> Labels: authentication, security
> 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 This way of authenticating is somewhat outdated as any recent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
