8.3. Role Mapping
In order to convert the Principals in a Subject into a set of roles used for authorization, a
PrincipalRoleMapper must be specified in the global configuration. Red Hat JBoss Data Grid ships with three mappers, and also allows you to provide a custom mapper.
| Mapper Name | Java | XML | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| IdentityRoleMapper | org.infinispan.security.impl.IdentityRoleMapper | <identity-role-mapper /> | Uses the Principal name as the role name. |
| CommonNameRoleMapper | org.infinispan.security.impl.CommonRoleMapper | <common-name-role-mapper /> | If the Principal name is a Distinguished Name (DN), this mapper extracts the Common Name (CN) and uses it as a role name. For example the DN cn=managers,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com will be mapped to the role managers. |
| ClusterRoleMapper | org.infinispan.security.impl.ClusterRoleMapper | <cluster-role-mapper /> | Uses the ClusterRegistry to store principal to role mappings. This allows the use of the CLI’s GRANT and DENY commands to add/remove roles to a Principal. |
| Custom Role Mapper | <custom-role-mapper class="a.b.c" /> | Supply the fully-qualified class name of an implementation of org.infinispan.security.impl.PrincipalRoleMapper |
