> Project: Atlas
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: atlas-webui
> Affects Versions: 0.7-incubating, 0.7.1-incubating
> Environment: Active Directory with Global Catalog
> HDP 2.5.3.x

> After upgrading to HDP 2.5.3.x from HDP 2.4.x we noticed kerberos
> authentication for the UI no longer works. So we switched to utilize Active
> Directory and noticed that with ActiveDirectory it was attempting use UPN
> which is risky in a large Active Directory environment instead samAccountName
> should be used like in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-457. I
> worked on a previous JIRA with Zeppelin
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZEPPELIN-1472. So this has been
> addressed in Knox, Ranger, and Zeppelin. I propose the attached fix to
> address this issue as the Ranger folks addressed this issue. Without this
> Atlas will not function in a Large multi-forest Active Directory environment.
> Details behind this change:
> In our environment we attempted to use the ActiveDirectory and LDAP
> configuration but unfortunately those implementations do not support ADLDAP
> Global Catalog correctly. Also searching on "userPrincipalName" is risky in
> an AD environment since the explicit UPN vs Implicit UPN can be different.
> And the LDAP userPrincipalName attribute is the explicit UPN which can be
> defined by the directory administrator to any value and it can be
> duplicated.. SamAccountName is unique per domain and Microsoft states best
> practice is to not allow duplicate samAccountName's in the forest. I have
> attached a working modified AtlasADAuthenticationProvider which works against
> samAccountName and global catalog for auth as it is currently working against
> HDP 2.5.3.x and Atlas 0.7.x.
