Goals

• Provide new authentication mechanisms inclusive of a foundational framework that allows specific authentication providers.  Best in class for this situation appears from a cursory standpoint to be JAAS
• Build the needed extensions and configuration to allow for multiple providers along the likes of LDAP, Kerberos, OAuth/OpenID Connect, etc.
• Extend the UI to provide a consistent user experience for interfacing with any of the various providers 

Background and strategic fit

Current security mechanisms are Spring based and heavily bound to exclusively a PKI powered system.  There has been wide community request for supporting of additional mechanisms as they look to provide integration of NiFi into existing enterprise facilities.
