Hi Mike,

 

I've configured NiFi 1.4.0 using LDAP-backed users and groups. The 
LdapProvider, configured in login-identity-providers.xml and the 
LdapUserGroupProvider, configured in authorizers.xml, both let you specify a 
user search base and as user search filter, so depending on the structure of 
your directory, that may be enough to limit authentication (and therefore 
authorization) to a single group. If not, you might have to set broader user 
search/filter parameters, and set access policies (e.g., using a 
FileAccessPolicyProvider) to grant R/W policies to a particular group identity 
after you've configured LDAP integration. 

 

Does that make sense? I hope this helps, feel free to post back to this thread 
if you have any other questions configuring AD integration through LDAP.

 

Kevin

Does anyone have any experience using AD as the backend for NiFi's 
authentication and authorization? I've never had to work with it before, but it 
seems like we can use it as either a LDAP provider or a Kerberos 
implementation. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to do the 
integration so that only specific users in a particular group can be authorized 
to work with NiFi?

 

Thanks,

 

Mike
