KNOX-1234 - KNOX-3247 - Knox LDAP Server with Pluggable Backend
What changes were proposed in this pull request?
By exposing an LDAP interface from Knox, we can provide a rich set of backend implementations that can:
The LDAP Server proxy feature normalizes the consumer facing schema and returns the proxied schema results. This is a standard/common LDAP Proxy pattern. It also needs to be able to reverse the mapping for queries that come from a result that includes the backend schema such as the DN. So, consumers can use both the internal and external DNs for searches.
This PR adds a new GatewayService called KnoxLDAPServer that uses ServiceLoader to provide an SPI for backend implementations. It includes a file based backend for testing and an LDAP backend to proxy access to other external LDAP servers.
How was this patch tested?
New unit tests have been added for those things that can be mocked and tested.
We will need to add additional integration tests with an actual backend deployed.
Manually tested both the file based and LDAP Server based backends.
Used the existing Demo LDAP Server as the proxied LDAP Server.
