LDAP authentication with oozie?

avatar

We are running Cloudera 5.3, and there doesn't seem to be a way to implement LDAP authentication for oozie. Am I wrong? 

Thanks in advance!

You are correct in that Oozie does not yet offer a supported way to
configure LDAP based authentication over its Web Server. However, it
does ship with a simple 'example' LDAP auth filter to demonstrate its
ability to accept custom login modules, which can be read and
configured via http://archive.cloudera.com/cdh5/cdh/5/oozie/ENG_Custom_Authentication.html#Login_Server_Example.

Does this help?

Yes, it does. I had already seen that link, but I wanted to make sure that was the way to go as other alternatives are not available.

Thanks!
