----------------------------------
Summary: Refactor NiFi Registry LoginIdentityProvider
Key: NIFIREG-45
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFIREG-45
Project: NiFi Registry
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Kevin Doran
Assignee: Kevin Doran
The initial implementation of identity provider implementation for NiFi
Registry was based on the current (at the time) implementation on NiFi that
used a LoginIdentityProvider Interface that authenticated a LoginCredentials
object holding a username/password. This was for legacy reasons that were
NiFi-specific relating to avoiding inclusion of servlet jars in the dependency
for the identity provider api module.
This is not a constraint for Registry (or NiFi any more apparently), so this
ticket is to refactor this interface to be more general by authenticating a
ServletRequest object, which would open implementations up to supporting more
ways of the client passing in the identity claim (eg, cookie value).
