Hello. I want to find one environmental variable "auth.jaas.enabled" to change it to be true. I wonder where it is. Since I use docker quickstart, I found the directory /plugins/auth/resources is empty. I really appreicate it if anyone can help me. (I found it in the application configuration of the container "datahub-frontend_react", but it is meaningless to change in the container since it automatically changed to false if I run datahub quickstart.)

Hi, I think there is no such variable per se, what you might need to do would be to specify it in the

JAVA_OPTS

env variable (or

JDK_JAVA_OPTIONS

for the specific case of front container with versions that have JDK 11 (0.8.45 forward, if I am not mistaken)) Out of curiosity, what do you need that variable for?

@microscopic-mechanic-13766 Thanks for your reply. I want to introduce LDAP-based authentication of ui of docker quickstart. I made my own jaas.conf file and run it. But it fails to login using our AD account stored in our company's ldap server. I found some threads in this slack where someone had a similar problem which I was faced with. The answer says "Did you change the environment variable "AUTH_JAAS_ENABLED" to be true?" That's why I want to find it to try again after changing it true.

Hello again, so the files you might be interested in are

/datahub-fronted/conf/application.conf

(file in which all the possible variables that can be written are) and

/datahub-fron/conf/jaas.conf

. Inside the former file, you will be able to see these variables that I think they might be what you are looking for:

auth.jaas.enabled = ${?AUTH_JAAS_ENABLED}
auth.native.enabled = ${?AUTH_NATIVE_ENABLED}

I also mentioned the jaas.conf as I think you might need to overwrite this file with your configuration

@microscopic-mechanic-13766 That's exactly right. Actually, my question comes from that file. I've already found out it in the container. Also, that's why I want to find where "AUTH_JAAS_ENBALED" is. I guess it may be false in default setting. If default is true, the reason of failure may be another.

As it is an optional variable, I would bet that it is defaulted to false (although I am not 100% sure). I would just try to either put that variable (

AUTH_JAAS_ENABLED

in case you haven't already) or modify it manually in the file in case the env variable isn't "catched"

You mean, add those variable to the environment of the container datahub-frontend-react located in the .datahub/quickstart/docker-compose.yml. Is it right?

That is right, yeah

Though I inserted environment variables, I failed to log in. Actually, our company provides bind dn and its password. Maybe I should add this to jaas.conf file but don't know the configuration well.
