[jira] Created: (KARAF-172) Implement a mechanism that would allow a karaf application to distingush between UserPrincipal & RolePrincipal without depending from Karaf JAAS Modules

Implement a mechanism that would allow a karaf application to distingush between UserPrincipal & RolePrincipal without depending from Karaf JAAS Modules
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: KARAF-172
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-172
             Project: Karaf
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Ioannis Canellos


A karaf application that makes use of JAAS for authentication and authorization will obtain a LoginContext that contains UserPrincipal and RolePrincipal objects (both classes are inside org.apache.karaf.jaas:org.apache.karaf.jaas.modules).

If such application needs to distinguish between those two(e.g role based authorization), will have to depend from org.apache.karaf.jaas:org.apache.karaf.jaas.modules.

I think that the application needs to be decoupled from Karaf JAAS Modules and this is why I think that an alternative needs to be provided to the user.

Such alternative could be the use of a convention (maybe like having a prefix on Roles, or goruping roles under a Group with a fixed name (jboss approach)). This mechanism could be implemented by Karaf Login Modules and even better could be pluggable.

[jira] Updated: (KARAF-172) Implement a mechanism that would allow a karaf application to distingush between UserPrincipal & RolePrincipal without depending from Karaf JAAS Modules

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

    Attachment: KARAF-172-patch.txt

I am uploading a patch that does the following:

a) Introduces KarafAbstractLoginModule which handles RolePolicies if any (the rest login modules inherit from that).
b) Introduces a group policy GROUP_ROLES. This policy creates a Group Object with a configurable name and adds all RolesPrincipals into that Group (JBoss-like approach).
c) Introduces a group policy PREFIXED_ROLES which discriminates RolePricipals by adding a configurable prefix.

Some policy examples:

GROUP_ROLES:

    <jaas:config name="example">
        <jaas:module className="org.apache.karaf.jaas.modules.properties.PropertiesLoginModule" flags="required">
            users = $[karaf.base]/etc/users.properties
            rolePolicy = group
            roleDisciriminator = ROLES
        </jaas:module>
    </jaas:config>

PREFIXED_ROLES:

    <jaas:config name="example">
        <jaas:module className="org.apache.karaf.jaas.modules.properties.PropertiesLoginModule" flags="required">
            users = $[karaf.base]/etc/users.properties
            rolePolicy = prefix
            roleDisciriminator = ROLE_
        </jaas:module>
    </jaas:config>

Guillaume Nodet commented on KARAF-172:
---------------------------------------

+1 for that.  That always struck me as odd that one had to depend on a specific implementation classes for that.  I actually did not investigate how others had fixed that :-(   A pluggable (or configurable) mechanism would be awesome.
