---------------------------------
Summary: Knox LDAP Server with Pluggable Backend
Key: KNOX-3247
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KNOX-3247
Project: Apache Knox
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Server
Reporter: Larry McCay
By exposing an LDAP interface from Knox, we can provide a rich set of backend
implementations that can:
* Provide easy demo and test environments with a file based backend
* Provide enterprise integrations by proxying actual LDAP backends
* Provide novel implementations based on the KNOX-AUTH-SERVICE in other
topologies
* All while simplifying the configuration of consumers by normalizing the
exposed schema - resulting in the same LDAP config for all deployments rather
than chasing the deployment specific details across the platform.
Knox can be the central LDAP Server for the platform while integrating with all
of the possible combinations that we already support.
