> Applications/users could connect to gaianDB using their own authentication
> information - for example userid/password in the simple case. Here the ranger
> plugin will use that id for policy checks.
> However in a multi tiered architecture a service id (aka non personal
> account) may be used, and somehow the user to be impersonated is passed via
> an additional property. This has a number of implications to the system
> configuration, derby/gaiandb configuration & the plugin implementation.
> Opening this Jira as a placeholder and will add a document soon (++days) on
> the same to capture some of the discussion around this area in recent days.
