Hi all, I've been experimenting with LDAP authentication with the Admin web app a bit. It's fairly straightforward getting authentication to work. However, what I'm wondering is if there is any way to automatically assign an "admin" role to such a user?
The group/role configuration seems to be discarded by the code in RangerAuthenticationProvider, which ends up setting the granted authorities by calling "userMgr.getRolesByLoginId". However, as the userMgr object does not know about this user (which is in LDAP) it never returns an admin role. IMO there is a bug in the RangerAuthenticationProvider in that it should check a configuration option for a list of groups that can be assigned "Admin" roles, and if the authenticated user is a member of such a group, then it is granted "ADMIN_ROLE". WDYT or am I missing something? Colm. -- Colm O hEigeartaigh Talend Community Coder http://coders.talend.com
