merrimanr commented on issue #1275: METRON-1878: Add Metron as a Knox service

   1. Can you talk about the rewrite rules at all? What are they currently 
doing and when would someone need to modify those files?
   
   There is not much to say about this because there isn't any significant 
rewriting going on.  Knox is simply forwarding the requests as is.  This is the 
same for all 3 services (Alerts UI, Management UI, and REST) and you'll notice 
all `rewrite.xml` files are structured the same.  The only requirement I had an 
issue with is that static assets needs to be prepended with the Knox path.  
This was solved by making the base href relative in `index.html`.  I added a 
comment in the metron-alerts `index.html` file but missed it in metron-config.  
I will go back and add that comment.  I cannot think of a scenario where 
changing a `rewrite.xml` file would be necessary.
   
   2. Can you add any comment on the LDAP config with roles? Maybe a very brief 
cookie cutter example of how a user's LDAP users and groups will translate into 
Metron's interpretation of that info.
   
   You're right, we should document how this works.  I will add a section to 
the README.
