----
> 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).
