Selvamohan Neethiraj updated RANGER-842: ---------------------------------------- Assignee: Bolke de Bruin > Allow PAM for authentication > ---------------------------- > > Key: RANGER-842 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-842 > Project: Ranger > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: admin > Affects Versions: 0.5.1, 0.6.0 > Reporter: Bolke de Bruin > Assignee: Bolke de Bruin > Labels: authentication, security > Fix For: 0.5.1, 0.6.0 > > Attachments: 0002-RANGER-842-pam-authentication.patch > > > Ranger currently uses shadow based authentication if configured for unix > authentication. This way of authenticating is somewhat outdated as any recent > Linux system (and many of the BSDs) have PAM available. PAM allows multiple > authentication sources and also does authorization. > Ranger should be able to use PAM for authentication -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
