Kevin Doran commented on NIFI-4211:
-----------------------------------
I agree this would be a nice refinement to our current configuration,
especially in the LDAP case.
> Support shared provider configuration information for authentication and
> authorization

> Key: NIFI-4211
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4211
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core Framework
> Affects Versions: 1.4.0
> Reporter: Yolanda M. Davis
>
> The introduction of the new UserGroup and Policy provider interfaces
> highlight an opportunity to allow configuration information for connecting to
> source systems, such as LDAP/Kerberos, to be shared between authentication
> and authorization providers. For example, when using a single LDAP source
> for authentication and for user/group lookup to correlate with policy,
> currently users need to setup the source's config information (which includes
> connection, authentication strategy, Manager DN and password, etc) in both
> the login-identity-providers.xml and the authorizers.xml files. Having a way
> to share this information between these two features I think would help
> simplify setup.
