[jira] Updated: (JS2-27) Allow disable of Groups and Roles

["Ate Douma (JIRA)" <je...@portals.apache.org>]

     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JS2-27?page=all ]

Ate Douma updated JS2-27:
-------------------------

    Version: 2.0-POST
                 (was: 2.0-FINAL)

I have this feature fully working locally, but it depends on functionality from JS-21 which I just rolled back (partially) for the 2.0-FINAL release.
There isn't enough time left to finish this fully.
These issues will be picked up again after ApacheCON, so hopefully version 2.1 will have them.

>
> In J1 a user can be disabled but not a role or a group.
> I guess disabling users will be supported by J2 to allow migration from J1.
> I would also like to be able to disable Roles and Groups.
> It would allow for really advanced access management in J2 without it
> getting in the way for who doesn't need it (could even be *hidden* through configuration if needed).
> To have this standard available in J2 would be very nice for most large J2 implementations. Implementation itself would be quite easy and the gain enormous.
> Adding a boolean disabled attribute to o.a.j.security.BasePrincipal
> would do it (and of course BasePrincipalImpl and the object
> model behind it). The LoginModule, UserManager, GroupManager
> and RoleManager then can decide on this attribute if the Principal may
> be used (in isUserInRole(), isGroupInRole(), etc.)
