---------------------------------
Assignee: Larry McCay
> 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
> Assignee: Larry McCay
> Priority: Major
>
> 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.
