Ashish Thusoo commented on HIVE-78:
-----------------------------------
+1 on this.
I also wanted to integrate this with AD through kerberos as that is perhaps the
dominant user repositories in most enterprises and at least internally we have
some users that do not have unix accounts (mostly analysts). We could use samba
to provide the bridge to AD as there are certain nuances when it comes to
Kerberos with AD as well as NTLM and NTLMv2 auths that samba has already solved.
Also we should also think of providing integration with unix accounts - those
maintained in passwd db specially for folks who want to just test
authentication specific features.
In the past the most dominant directories that I have found in enterprise
environments as AD (can be bridged through LDAP and Samba), Sun Java One,
Novell and OID (all LDAP directories) and Unix accounts.
Thoughts?
