----------------------------------
Summary: Support externalized principal mapping in
AuthenticatingRealm and ModularRealmAuthenticator
Key: SHIRO-465
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHIRO-465
Project: Shiro
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Authentication (log-in)
Affects Versions: 1.2.2
Reporter: Kevin Minder
Fix For: 1.2.3
The basic idea is to provide a plug-in point that can be used to resolve
principals to things like groups or effective principals. The primary use case
that is driving this for me is to be able to resolve authenticated principals
to a set of groups where that user to group mapping is external to the user
repository. In addition other mappings can be done like mapping a real user
principal to an effective user principal. This would be useful when a
translation is required from an external identity store (e.g. LDAP) to some
application specific identities. The existing pattern for things like
RolePermissionResolver should be followed for consistency.
