Hrishikesh Gadre commented on SOLR-10814: ----------------------------------------- [~noble.paul] could you please review the attached patch? > 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 > Attachments: SOLR-10814.patch > > > 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 change 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 (v6.4.14#64029) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
