             Summary: Support shared providers for authentication and authorization
                 Key: NIFI-4211
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4211
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core Framework
    Affects Versions: 1.4.0
            Reporter: Yolanda M. Davis


With the introduction of the new UserGroup and Policy provider interfaces there appears to be an opportunity to allow users to share UserGroup provider information for login identity (authentication).  For example, when using a single LDAP source for authentication and to pull user/group information to correlate with policy, currently users would need to setup configurations in both the login-identity-providers.xml and the authorizers.xml files with essentially the same information. Having a way to share this provider information between these two features I think would help simplify setup.
