Currently, username translations based on rules are done maintaining the case of the input principal. For example, given the rule
Code Block |
---|
"RULE:[ |
...
2:$1@$0](.*@EXAMPLE.COM)s/@.*//" |
Code Block |
---|
If the source string is joe- |
...
qa/host@EXAMPLE.COM, the result is joe-qa |
...
If the source string is JOE- |
...
QA/host@EXAMPLE.COM, the result is JOE-QA |
...
If the source string is Joe- |
...
QA/host@EXAMPLE.COM, the result is Joe-QA |
However, this may not be desired given how different operating system handle usernames, whereas where some are case-sensitive
and some are case-insensitive. For example, Linux is case-sensitive and Windows is case-insensitive. To help with this issue, the rule should can support to force the translated result to be all lower case.

Proposed Changes
We propose to extend extend the "sasl.kerberos.principal.to.local.rules" config rule format/syntax by supporting an optional "/L" (toLowerCase) at the end of the rule. However, it must be noted that this does not affect how pattern matches on input and therefore that will still be case-sensitive.RULE:[1 Since usernames are locale insensitive strings, we propose to use Locale.ENGLISH for the case conversion
For example, given the rules
Code Block |
---|
"RULE:[2:$1@$0](joe-qa-.*@EXAMPLE.COM)s/.*/JOE-QA//L |
...
", "RULE:[ |
...
2:$1@$0](JOE-QA-.*@EXAMPLE.COM)s/.*/JOE-QA-UPPER//L |
...
", "RULE:[ |
...
2:$1@$0](.*@EXAMPLE.COM)s/@.*///L" |
Code Block |

If the source string is joe-qa- |
...
cl1/host@EXAMPLE.COM, the result |
...
will be joe-qa |
...
If the source string is JOE-QA- |

cl1/host@EXAMPLE.COM, the result |

If the source string is joe_ |

However, it must be noted that this does not affect how pattern matches on input and therefore that will still be case-sensitive.

Compatibility, Deprecation, and Migration Plan
This is an extension to the existing sasl.kerberos.principal.to.local.rules format and there will be no impact on existing users.
