Hrishikesh Gadre created SOLR-10814: ---------------------------------------
Summary: Solr RuleBasedAuthorization config doesn't work seamlessly with kerberos authentication Key: SOLR-10814 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-10814 Project: Solr Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Default Security Level. Issues are Public) Affects Versions: 6.2 Reporter: Hrishikesh Gadre Solr allows configuring roles to control user access to the system. This is accomplished through rule-based permission definitions which are assigned to users. The authorization framework in Solr passes the information about the request (to be authorized) using an instance of AuthorizationContext class. Currently the only way to extract authenticated user is via getUserPrincipal() method which returns an instance of java.security.Principal class. The RuleBasedAuthorizationPlugin implementation invokes getName() method on the Principal instance to fetch the list of associated roles. https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/blob/2271e73e763b17f971731f6f69d6ffe46c40b944/solr/core/src/java/org/apache/solr/security/RuleBasedAuthorizationPlugin.java#L156 In case of basic authentication mechanism, the principal is the userName. Hence it works fine. But in case of kerberos authentication, the user principal also contains the RELM information e.g. instead of foo, it would return f...@example.com. This means if the user changes the authentication mechanism, he would also need to changed the user-role mapping in authorization section to use f...@example.com instead of foo. This is not good from usability perspective. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
