Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-14513: --------------------------------------- Good docs, [~ngangam]. I made a few format changes and minor edits, and added information about this issue to *hive.server2.authentication.ldap.groupMembershipKey* in Configuration Properties. One question: Is the repetition of the word "represents" correct in this sentence (or should it be reworded?): "This property represents the attribute name that represents the user DN on the Group entry." I tinkered with alternatives but didn't want to change the meaning, so left it unchanged. Here are the specific doc links: * [Support for Groups in Custom LDAP Query | https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/User+and+Group+Filter+Support+with+LDAP+Atn+Provider+in+HiveServer2#UserandGroupFilterSupportwithLDAPAtnProviderinHiveServer2-SupportforGroupsinCustomLDAPQuery] * [Configuration Properties -- hive.server2.authentication.ldap.groupMembershipKey | https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Configuration+Properties#ConfigurationProperties-hive.server2.authentication.ldap.groupMembershipKey] > Enhance custom query feature in LDAP atn to support resultset of ldap groups > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-14513 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-14513 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: HiveServer2 > Affects Versions: 1.0.0 > Reporter: Naveen Gangam > Assignee: Naveen Gangam > Fix For: 2.2.0, 2.1.1 > > Attachments: HIVE-14513.patch > > > LDAP Authenticator can be configured to use a result set from a LDAP query to > authenticate. However, is it expected that this LDAP query would only result > a set of users (aka full DNs for the users in LDAP). > However, its not always straightforward to be able to author queries that > return users. For example, say you would like to allow "all users from group1 > and group2" to be authenticated. The LDAP query has to return a union of all > members of the group1 and group2. > For example, one common configuration is that groups contain a list of its > users > "dn: uid=group1,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com", > "distinguishedName: uid=group1,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com", > "objectClass: top", > "objectClass: groupOfNames", > "objectClass: ExtensibleObject", > "cn: group1", > "ou: Groups", > "sn: group1", > "member: uid=user1,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com", > The query > {{(&(objectClass=groupOfNames)(|(cn=group1)(cn=group2)))}} > will return the entries > uid=group1,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com > uid=group2,ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com > but there is no means to form a query that would return just the values of > "member" attributes. (ldap client tools are able to do by filtering out the > attributes on these entries. > So it will be useful to have such support to be able to specify queries that > return groups. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
