zeppelin | AD Groups | Roles

Question

I am trying to get users logging into Zeppelin be allocated to roles/groups using AD Groups.

The user attempting to login is - srv-airflowadmin, who is a member of the 'Test-Application-Hadoop-Admin' AD group.

The logs show a successful authentication, but the role (in this case 'admin') isn't being allocated -

 WARN [2018-08-01 04:29:46,820] ({qtp1286783232-42} LoginRestApi.java[postLogin]:119) - {"status":"OK","message":"","body":{"principal":"srv-airflowadmin","ticket":"d1858a16-97b6-49c5-b9c4-ecd8f25fd327","roles":"[]"}}

The debug logs show up as follows -

The configuration I am using is -

[main]
# authentication settings
activeDirectoryRealm = org.apache.zeppelin.realm.ActiveDirectoryGroupRealm
activeDirectoryRealm.searchBase = DC=mytest,DC=mytest2,DC=mytrust,DC=co,DC=nz
activeDirectoryRealm.url = ldap://a.b.c.d:389
activeDirectoryRealm.systemUsername = CN=srv-abc,OU=Service Accounts,OU=Security Principles,DC=mytest,DC=mytest2,DC=mytrust,DC=co,DC=nz
activeDirectoryRealm.systemPassword = myAmazingPassword
activeDirectoryRealm.principalSuffix = @test.abc.com
activeDirectoryRealm.authorizationCachingEnabled = false
activeDirectoryRealm.groupRolesMap = "CN=Test-Application-Hadoop-Admin,OU=Application,OU=Groups,DC=mytest,DC=mytest2,DC=mytrust,DC=co,DC=nz":"admin","CN=Test-Application-Hadoop-Users,OU=Application,OU=Groups,DC=mytest,DC=mytest2,DC=mytrust,DC=co,DC=nz":"developer"

# general settings

# cacheManager = org.apache.shiro.cache.MemoryConstrainedCacheManager
# securityManager.cacheManager = $cacheManager
securityManager.sessionManager = $sessionManager
securityManager.sessionManager.globalSessionTimeout = 86400000
securityManager.realms = $activeDirectoryRealm
shiro.loginUrl = /api/login

[roles]
admin = *
developer = *

[urls]
# authentication method and access control filters
/api/version = anon
/api/interpreter/** = authc, roles[admin]
/api/configurations/** = authc, roles[admin]
/api/credential/** = authc, roles[admin]
# /** = anon
/** = authc

What am I missing? Can someone please help me with this?

Cheers!

Answer 1

There were 2 things which I needed to do to make this work

• Upgrade Zeppelin to 0.8.0
• Max's answer above to just use a name for 'systemUsername'

Answer 2

"systemUsername" is just a name. Remove other attributes.
