> Hi all, during the GSOC 2011 I am working on this issue.. > http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-4554 > > I plan to split the architecture into two components, a user/group > management and a role authority. As an example, it should be possible > to get user/group info form the OS or a Database and storing roles in > property files. Many combinations are possible. > > At the moment, we have a file > GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR/security/users.properties > with the following syntax > > user=password,role1,....rolen,[enabled | disabled ] > > This gives me headaches because password and enabled status belong to > user/group management while the roles belong to the role authority. > > For a clean architecture I need 6 files > users.properties // user attributes without roles > groups.properties // group attributes without roles > roles.properties // roles > user_group.properties // "belongs to" relationship > user_roles.properties // "user has roles" relationship > group_roles.properties // "group has roles" relationship > > An idea is to put these file in its own subdir > GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR/security/propertybased/* > > The migration would be the following: > On first start, read the file > GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR/security/users.properties , create the directoy > hierarchy and new files, migrate, write a migration message in the log > and inform the admin that he can remove the old user.properties. > > On the following starts, if > GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR/security/users.properties exists, I will write a > warning in the log to remove that file, since it is no longer used, > but contains passwords. > > Opinions ? > > > > > > > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > vRanger cuts backup time in half-while increasing security. > With the market-leading solution for virtual backup and recovery, > you get blazing-fast, flexible, and affordable data protection. > Download your free trial now. > http://p.sf.net/sfu/quest-d2dcopy1 > _______________________________________________ > Geotools-devel mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geotools-devel > ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ vRanger cuts backup time in half-while increasing security.
