We use the following topologies right now in HDP 3, shown below. I understand there is authentication and authorization. Prior to using PAM, we used LDAP configurations. Then we ran into... KnoxLdapContextFactory.java (HW had us try identity assertion, null pointer issue hit) KnoxLdapRealm.java (ldap - too many entries, fails, we only get the 'cdisadmin' group as it's in the first page or results, and the code for this does NOT properly page) KnoxPamRealm.java (works, but requires reworking PAM/sssd,). PAM works it seems, but even if I put my own username in the top level Knox policy to deny access, nothing is denied when I access Knox SSO webui's. I don't understand what part of the authorization process is not communicating. In our view, when you pass the PAM authentication stage, you just get access, when what we REALLY want to happen, is Ranger then says yes or no to you getting authorized. PAM module: #%PAM-1.0
