Summary: Ranger policy-decision-point (PDP) server
Key: RANGER-5263
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-5263
Project: Ranger
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Ranger
Reporter: Madhan Neethiraj
Apache Ranger enables centralized management of authorization policies for data
in a wide variety of services, including file systems, databases, data streams,
search indexes, schema registries, metadata services and APIs.
Apache Ranger APIs and UI for policy management are available out-of-the-box,
enabling enterprises to use a common policy model to setup authorization
policies across their data estate.
Apache Ranger provides Java libraries for services build to authorization
plugins. Authorization plugins for several popular services are available
out-of-the-box from Apache Ranger; more authorization plugin implementations
are available from other open-source projects as well like Trino, NiFi, Kudu.
To address needs of services where Java based authorization plugin is not
feasible, Apache Ranger should provide a service having REST API endpoints that
authorize access requests by evaluating policies setup in Apache Ranger. These
REST APIs will enable services implemented using a wider variety of
technologies (like Go, Python, .NET, Rust) to authorize resource accesses using
Apache Ranger policies. In addition to extending Apache Ranger to larger number
of services, this approach can also simplify integration with fewer
configurations and dependencies for service implemented in Java as well.
