Hi,
Considering a bit the visible architecture of HDP, it seems possible to externalize the authentication to an apache as reverse proxy. Then we can have a bunch of authentication provider, like Google, Facebook, GitHub, any HTTP server mode, ...
I tried it just like I'm doing it on many applications, but it doesn't work due to https, cors, ... and maybe more.
Had someone already tried it ? Any code or conf to share ?
Hybrid Data Pipeline only supports using a Java plugin to handle external authentication. Does this section of the product documentation contain the information that you need? documentation.progress.com/.../
We use Apache as authentication layer with ajp protocol to transfert the user id:
httpd.apache.org/.../mod_proxy_ajp.html
Then Tomcat receive the user id and consider the request as authentified:
tomcat.apache.org/.../ajp.html
I thnik we can do it with HDP, but there is https to setup + the realm name + ...
