[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFCORE-2146) Security-Realm Authorization over LDAP doesn't permit multiple Attribute names as filter.

Security-Realm Authorization over LDAP doesn't permit multiple Attribute names as filter. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: WFCORE-2146 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-2146 Project: WildFly Core Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Security Environment: CentOS release 6.8 (Final) JBoss Admin Command-line Interface JBOSS_HOME: /opt/wildfly/10.1.0 JBoss AS release: 2.2.0.Final "Kenny" JBoss AS product: WildFly Full 10.1.0.Final JAVA_HOME: null java.version: 1.8.0_40 java.vm.vendor: Oracle Corporation java.vm.version: 25.40-b25 os.name: Linux os.version: 4.6.3-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64 Reporter: Daniel Draper Assignee: Darran Lofthouse Priority: Major When hooking up our Wildfly Application to our SSO (CAS) for authentication and delegating Authorization to a Security Realm and then using LDAP we ran into the following problem: *Use Case* We want to use authorization inside a Security-Realm through LDAP. In our LDAP setup we have a Group-To-Principal matching of the form "_member=uid=x" OR "submember=uid=x_" depending on if the user was added manually or through an autodomain. Unfortunately as far as we could tell using two attributes in the Polish Notation (as is required by [LDAP|https://ldapwiki.com/wiki/LDAP%20filters%20Syntax%20and%20Choices]) seems to be impossible for the wildfly configuration. We tried the following in the standalone-accounting.xml (in different iterations and ways to place the parenthesis) which all lead to an 'unbalanced Parenthesis' or similar error when starting up wildfly. {code:xml} <management> <security-realms> <security-realm name="bla"> <authorization> <ldap connection="ldap"> <username-to-dn> <username-is-dn/> </username-to-dn> <group-search group-name="SIMPLE" iterative="false" group-dn-attribute="cn" group-name-attribute="cn"> <group-to-principal search-by="SIMPLE" base-dn="ou=roles,***" recursive="false"> <membership-filter principal-attribute="|(submember=uid={0})(member=uid={0})"/> </group-to-principal> </group-search> </ldap> </authorization> </security-realm> </security-realms> </management> {code} We then found the filterString is parsed the following way: (See [LdapGroupSearcherFactory#L115|https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly-core/blo...]) {code:java} this.filterString = String.format("(%s={0})", principalAttribute); {code} which seems to make multiple attribute names as a filter impossible, which makes our use case as above impossible. Asked in [Forums|https://developer.jboss.org/thread/273435], but since I didn't get any answers for 3 weeks opening here.
