Seems like I'm trying to get a little too much users from LDAP :-)

I guess it's time to use group search

Le 19/07/2019 à 16:24, Bryan Bende a écrit :
The FileAccessPolicyProvider is making a call to the user group
provider using the value you entered for initial admin:

final User initialAdmin =
userGroupProvider.getUserByIdentity(initialAdminIdentity);

It has something to do with the value you entered for the initial
admin not lining up with the identities being returned from the LDAP
provider.

If you entered a full DN, but the LDAP provider returns just the short
name, or vice versa, then it doesn't line up.

which seems to indicate that on startup, the FileAccessPolicyProvider will try 
to get informations for the manager dn in the file (which, as far as a I 
understand, is not yet loaded)

.

So there must be some weird back-and-forth dance between the ldap user group 
provider and the file policy provider ... But I don't understand the dance in 
question

Le 19/07/2019 à 15:38, Edward Armes a écrit :

Hi Nicolas,

In your actual configuration, is this the actual entry and not sanitized 
version?

<property name="User Group Name Attribute">This attribute doesn't exist to make sure 
no grouping is done</property>

If so I think this is the problem. As I what I think is happening Nifi is 
trying to interpret this value as a DN and failing, if you only need the users 
returned from the LDAP search to be the list of valid users then this field can 
just be left blank, if however you need a list of valid (not necessarily 
authorized) users to be filtered to be a member of a specific LDAP group then 
you can specify the DN for that group here.

I would change it to:

<property name="User Group Name Attribute"></property>

and see if that works

Hi Nicolas,

This one is a bit of a Spring special. The actual cause here is that the Spring 
Bean that is being created from this file has silently failed, and thus the 
auto-wiring has failed as well. The result is you get this lovely misleading 
error. The normal reason for the bean not being created I found was because I

 From what I understand, it seems like the AuthorizerFactoryBean tries to read 
my user-group-provider from the authorizers.xml file.


I have such an user group provider, which is a ldap one :

<authorizers>
<userGroupProvider>
<identifier>ldap-user-group-provider</identifier>
<class>org.apache.nifi.ldap.tenants.LdapUserGroupProvider</class>
<property name="Authentication Strategy">LDAPS</property>
<property name="Manager DN">a_dn</property>
<property name="Manager Password">a_password</property>
<property name="TLS - Keystore"></property>
<property name="TLS - Keystore Password"></property>
<property name="TLS - Keystore Type"></property>
<property name="TLS - Truststore">/opt/certs/cacerts.jks</property>
<property name="TLS - Truststore Password">another</property>
<property name="TLS - Truststore Type">JKS</property>
<property name="TLS - Client Auth"></property>
<property name="TLS - Protocol">TLSv1</property>
<property name="TLS - Shutdown Gracefully"></property>
<property name="Referral Strategy">FOLLOW</property>
<property name="Connect Timeout">10 secs</property>
<property name="Read Timeout">10 secs</property>
<property name="Url">ldaps://myserver.mycompany.com:636</property>
<property name="Page Size"></property>
<property name="Sync Interval">30 mins</property>
<property name="User Search Base">ou=people,o=mycompany.com</property>
<property name="User Object Class">privPerson</property>
<property name="User Search Scope">SUBTREE</property>
<property name="User Search Filter"></property>
<property name="User Identity Attribute">uid</property>
<property name="User Group Name Attribute">This attribute doesn't exist to make sure 
no grouping is done</property>
<property name="User Group Name Attribute - Referenced Group 
Attribute"></property>
<property name="Group Search Base"></property>
<property name="Group Object Class">group</property>
<property name="Group Search Scope">ONE_LEVEL</property>
<property name="Group Search Filter"></property>
<property name="Group Name Attribute"></property>
<property name="Group Member Attribute"></property>
<property name="Group Member Attribute - Referenced User Attribute"></property>
</userGroupProvider>

So why can't it be loaded ?

Because I don't see any other exception (typically, I would expect a search 
fail exception, but it seems to work).
