[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-6526) Need mapping from long principal names to local OS user names

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6526?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12842557#action_12842557 ]

------------------------------------------

I wonder if it would be worthwhile talking to the ApacheDS folks.  Maybe their stack can deal with all of these weird-isms.

> We need a configurable mapping from full user names (eg. omalley@APACHE.ORG) to local user names (eg. omalley). For many organizations it is sufficient to just use the prefix, however, in the case of shared clusters there may be duplicated prefixes. A configurable mapping will let administrators resolve the issue.
