             Summary: Optionally force username from LDAP authentication data 
to be lowercase in Ambari
                 Key: AMBARI-18813
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-18813
             Project: Ambari
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: ambari-server
    Affects Versions: 2.4.0
            Reporter: Robert Levas
            Assignee: Robert Levas
             Fix For: 2.4.2


Optionally force username from LDAP authentication data to be lowercase in 
Ambari based on LDAP import configuration.

In some cases the username declared in the relevant LDAP object is in all 
uppercase characters when the local Hadoop cluster expects the username to be 
all lowercase. As of Ambari 2.4.0, the username specified from the LDAP data is 
used to override the username known to Ambari.  This overwritten data may be in 
all uppercase characters, potentially breaking local username conventions. 

To help this scenario, provide a configuration option to force the username 
obtained from the LDAP object to be converted to all lowercase character. 

For example {{authentication.ldap.usernameAttribute.forceLowercase}}.

This optional configuration value is to default to false to maintain current 
functionality.
